Local Definitions Referred by the Global Class

Use

In this Include program you place only those

Local Interface Declarations
Local Class Declarations
Local Type Declarations

that are referred to in the private section of the global class. When this Include program is changed, all subclasses and friends of the global class must be recompiled because they might depend on these declarations

You implement the local classes declared here in the Include program for Local Definitions not Referred by the Global Class.

Procedure

Open the class you want to edit in the Class Builder.
Choose Goto →Local Definitions/Implementations → Class relevant local Definitions.
The ABAP Editor for the respective Include program appears.
Go to change mode.
Edit the local declarations

Note

Before Release 7.1 (SP4), this Include was reached by the function Local Types and we recommended you place all local declarations here. This recommendation and the naming of the functions has changed in order to minimize the compilation efforts due to changes in the local definitions. If you open the Include for global classes that were created before Release 7.1, you might still find all declarations here. We recommend you copy all Declarations that are not referred to in the private section of the global class into the Include for Local Definitions not Referred by the Global Class.
