Includes in global Class

Hi all,
I have a global class (created in SE24 - Class builder) and need to use constants and types in its methods, that are defined in an include.
In functional development we just put a "INCLUDE includename." in the function group top-include.
Where can I put that include in the global class?
I tried the "local types" source file, but it doesnt accept the constant definitions inside my include.

hi, Frank Besler
If you want to add global (constant)value and type definantion, you can add them in the LXXXXTOP file, the XXXX is the function group name.
if you don't want all of the defination added only one file, you can create a file, named LXXXXFYYY, XXXX is still function group, YYY is the random string you set.
and add the 'include LXXXXFYYY' into the SAPLXXXX. (XXXX is still function group name). SAPLXXXX is the main program for the function group, you can find its name in the 'Attributes' tab 'Program name' fields in se37.
click the SAPLXXXX, you can see a example like this:
*   System-defined Include-files.                                 *
INCLUDE LATSVTOP.      " Global Data
INCLUDE LATSVUXX.      " Function Modules
*   User-defined Include-files (if necessary).                    *
* INCLUDE LATSVF...      " Subprograms
* INCLUDE LATSVO...      " PBO-Modules
* INCLUDE LATSVI...      " PAI-Modules
* add your include file here
include LATSVF01.
Please aware the your include file name can't be set random, you must follow the rule, otherwise the compile will failed.

Access global data of report in global class methods?

Hi all,
I have defined one global class in SE24 and i am using methods of this class in report program.
Can i access global data of my report program in class methods directly without declaring it as IMPORT
parameter?
Thanks,
Apita

Hi,
Well, now you did confuse me: first you asked about using global data of a report program in global class (created in SE24), and the answer is: no, you can't directly access the global data of another program in a method of global class (yes, you should pass them via importing parameters), and you shouldn't even consider using indirect means of doing so via special form of ASSIGN statement reserved for internal use by SAP. The ASSIGN will not work if someone reuses the global class elsewhere in the system without loading your report. Don't ever program such atrocious dependencies in global class...
And now you ask about the use "in method implementation in report program"..? Just to be sure - you can't program the implementation of a global class method in a report program.
You can program a local class inheriting from a global class and redefine/re-implement methods of such global super-class in a report program. Global data of report program, including the selection screen, would be directly accessible to such local class. It would still not be a good idea to use this access:
Conversely, within an encapsulated unit, that is, within a class, you should avoid accessing more global data directly. Within methods, you should generally modify attributes of the class only. Write access to global data outside the class is not recommended. Accessing data in this way should only be done using specially marked methods, if at all. The use of methods of a class should not evoke any side effects outside the class itself.

Export of global class

Hi everybody.
I want export a global class (SE24, Object Builder) to a local class in a INCLUDE, but unfortunally the Object Builder has no export function.
Does anybody know a way to change a global class to a local class?
Thx.

There's no easy way. I'm at a bit of a loss why you'd want to replace a global class witha local class that you include in your programs. What do you gain?
But if you insist, you can always cut and paste the public/private/protected sections of your class (making suitable modifications and assuming you're not on an old SAP version), and then you'd have to cut and paste the method implementations in as well.
Printing a class to a the spool is a fairly good way of getting all its details. Another alternative is to search these forums for where the includes that actually make up the class are - it should be fairly simple to write a program that would take that source code and construct local classes from it. But I still don't see the point.

Local class - global class

Hi Friends,
Can a local class make friend with global class???
for example i have a local class in se38 editor and this local class should access the private attribute of global class which is there in se24.
Deepak

HI Deepak
Yo can define your ABAP Unit test class as a friend of the global class to be tested in the local class definition include of your global class. So, you have to add a line of code like
CLASS <name of global class to be tested> DEFINITION LOCAL FRIENDS <name of local ABAP Unit class> in the include where the definition of local ABAP Unit Class is in. Then you can call the private methods of your global class in the local abap unit class methods.
just refer these links

SE24 Global class transportation failed

Hi,
I have created one global class with two methods in it (Development server). When i checked the syntax errors in these methods there are no errors. But when i transported this global class to quality system, the transportaion failed and when i checked the syntax errors of these methods in quality system , it is giving one error saying that 'include report 'zcl_pricing============cl' not found.
this zcl_pricing is the global class created in development server.

are you sure that class and methods are in same transport? Check object entry.
If class and method are in same transport, go to quality system (SE24) and check if class is available. Maybe all you have to do is activate it in quality system.

Local class as a friend of a global class

Hi guys,
I'm just wondering if I could make a local class which is defined in the local section of a global class to its friend. I need this to check private attriutes and methods with abap unit.

Hi Christian,
Yo can define your ABAP Unit test class as a friend of the global class to be tested in the local class definition include of your global class. So, you have to add a line of code like

Saving global classes / packages

Hi,
I created a package inside se80 with global classes and I want to save this package or/and the global classes to disc (for other projects).
How can I achieve this?
I know the report REPTRAN but this tool saves all my global classes (in all packages) with odd filenames. Is it possible to do this without using the transport organizer and without copy/paste the hole code by hand?

I suggest that you should read this New to Java material, as these forums are an especially inefficient way of learning the basics of Java. Most people (including myself) are not willing to write in sufficient detail for the material to be understandable by someone who doesn't have any knowledge of Java.

Hi,
it looks like it's not possible to call this BAPI wihtout material number. Here is a quote from BAPI documentation.
When creating material master data, you must transfer the material

Download Global Class attributes

Hi...
I want to download the global class attributes into an excel. when i checked the menu there is no such option.. Is that possible to do.. Can anyone guide me...
Thanks in advance.
Kalpanashri Rajendran.

Hi,
Assuming you are asking specifically about the global class "Attributes" and not all information about the global class itself. To get the "Attributes" in a spreadsheet you can try this work-around:
1. Run transaction SE84 Repository Info System.
2. Expand the "Class Library" branch.
3. Double-click the "Attributes" node.
4. Enter your global class name and run the search.
5. Once the list of attributes is displayed, choose menu path System -> List -> Save -> Local File.
6. Choose "Spreadsheet" format in the popup.
7. Give a file path and name for your spreadsheet.
8. You should now have a spreadsheet with all the "Attributes" of your global class.

Jamie

Include rt.jar class files in my own jar file to run 1.2+ applets on MS JVM

My problem is this. I'm writing an applet (which includes 1.2 classes) for my organization (over 2000 NT workstations) in which no one has administrative privelages to install Sun's JRE 1.2 or greater. The target browser is IE 5. Our NT admins are having problems pushing the JRE out so my only two options are to rewrite everything as 1.1 or somehow include the missing class files from rt.jar.
I really do not want to rewrite it all!
I was able to extract the missing class files (i.e. /java/util/HashMap.class) but I cannot figure out how to get the IE JVM to use them. Things I have tried:
1. jarred up all my class files along with the missing classes from rt.jar.

Thanks!

When the collection classes first came out, I think they were available in a separate jar (although the package name may be slightly different). If it's just collection classes, that might be worthwhile looking at.
The MS JVM may be spewing because the class format is too new; you may try with rt.jar classes from an older JVM (such as JDK 1.2), or try to recompile them from source using -target 1.1.

Major global classes used in abap objects

Hi,
I am new to the abap objects and till now i am to understand that the role of the global classes are important in the abap object program. I had tried to search on the net but i was not able to get the desired result.
I want to know which are the major global classes which are used in the ABAP objects.
Plzz provide me guidelines for it.

Ricx,
It depends on your requirement.
For alv's we use these global classes. For Webdynpro related alv we use different global classes.
CL_GUI_ALV_GRID (List Viewer)
CL_GUI_ALV_GRID_BASE (Basis Class for ALV grid)
CL_GUI_ALV_TREE (ALV Tree Control)
CL_GUI_ALV_TREE_SIMPLE (Simple ALV Tree)
CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE (Dynamic Creation of ALV Data Table)
CL_ALV_TREE_BASE (Basis Class ALV Tree Control)
CL_CK_ALVTREE_NKEY_2_OBJECT (Converter Node Key Object)
CL_ALV_EVENT_DATA (Changing Data Container for Events)
CL_ALV_EVENT_TOOLBAR_SET (ALV Context menu)

Select option in global class

Hi,
I want to add one data dictionary field as select option in a global class. I am trying to declare as table type. But i missed out something and it is not working. Could anybody help me out in this.
Regards,
Krishna.

Hello Krishna
You may have a look at table type RSELOPTION (line type RSDSSELOPT).
Alternatively, you can use a trick to "import" select-options for a selection screen into your class:
