Method CONSTRUCTOR

Use

The CONSTRUCTOR method is used to default some member variables with class-specific values.

Sample source text:

METHOD constructor .

CALL METHOD super->constructor.

mv_table_name_for_alv_grid = 'SBRF142_ALV'.

if_maintenance_brf~mv_smartform_name = 'BRF_VALUE_REQUEST_TABLE'.

ENDMETHOD.

Description:

First of all, the obligatory call of the CONSTRUCTOR method of the super-class takes place.

Then the following names are set:

• Structure name for the ABAP List Viewer (ALV) grid that is used in transaction BRF_OVERVIEW.

  This name is required for the method GET_TABLE_FOR_ALV_GRID. In turn, the method GET_TABLE_FOR_ALV_GRID is called by BRF_OVERVIEW.

• Name of the smart form

  This name is required for the print output ( method PRINT).

  If you do not want to tackle the subject of history management right from the beginning, set the if_maintenance_brf~mv_history_available attribute in the method to false (in other words space). In doing so, you indicate that your maintenance class does not (yet) support history management.
