TABLE CLASS ABAP

Question

Hi SDN Community,
We had a brilliant ABAP'er who developed the following code in table class SE24 in SAP BW.
But he is gone now!
I would like to adapt this same code to the START Method instead of the INIT Method.
But I am unfamiliar with ABAP,
and I simply tried changing CALL METHOD SUPER->START for the 7th line.
However these calls are not in the START method.
Would anyone know how to call this method from the INIT Method (via the START method), or to adapt the code
Thank you.
Simon

Hi Simon,
You didn't mention about the interfaces of this two class. Two because there is a inheritance mechanism. Trying to call SUPER->INIT you informing the system that you want to call method INIT from second class (which is inherited).
Same situation is when you call SUPER->START. In this case you want to call start method from second class.
If in main class you have START you should just use ME->START or CALL METHOD START commands, but of course it depends on the context ...
