Reading a Multiline Object Reference from a Container (BOR)

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be fulfilled to read an object reference of a classic object (BOR) from a container:

For function modules, the include file <CNTN01> must be incorporated in the program. For ABAP classes, the include files <CNTN02> and <CNTN03> must be incorporated. For more information, see Macro Instructions for Processing a Container.

Note

These prerequisites are always fulfilled if you are in the implementation program. The container is then addressed with the name CONTAINER.
The object references of the container must not be persistent.

Note

Containers passed using a function module interface always contain persistent object references. Before you read object references from a container and store them in a variable, you must make all object references in the container into runtime references. To do this, execute the following macro instruction:

SWC_CONTAINER_TO_RUNTIME <Container>
Note

You must process a container with this macro if you:
- Read a rule container for rule resolution
- Read an event container within a check function module or a receiver type function module.

Create a variable for the multiline object reference. Use the following command to do this:

DATA <Object list> TYPE SWC_OBJECT OCCURS 0.
Create a variable for an object reference. Use the following command to do this:

DATA <Object> TYPE SWC_OBJECT.
Read the multiline object reference from the container. Use the following command to do this:

SWC_GET_TABLE <Container> <Containerelement> <Objectlist>.
To access the individual object references, read the individual object references from the multiline object reference in a loop. Use the following command to do this:

READ TABLE <ObjectList> <Index> <Object>.

You can read the object type and the key from the object reference. To do this, use the macros SWC_GET_OBJECT_TYPE and SWC_GET_OBJECT_KEY. For more information, see Macro Instructions for Accessing Objects, Attributes, and Methods.
