Extracting Constants

Context

In the source code editor, you have the following options for extracting constants:

Function	Description	Available since SAP NetWeaver 7.3 EHP1	Available since SAP NetWeaver 7.4
Extracting Constants from Literals	Creating a constant with the value of the literal and replacing all occurrences. Note In SAP NetWeaver 7.4, you can only extract literals into constants as a string type. So, if you extract constants, a warning message that can be ignored is displayed. The reason for this is that, if you assign a character constant, it is not clear which exact type should be used.	SP11	SP05
Reusing Existing Constants	Replacing a literal with an existing constant. All other occurrences of the same literals remain unchanged.	SP11	SP05
Converting Locals to Class Members	Converting a local constant, local variable, or local type to a class member such as a member constant, attribute, or member type.	SP11	SP05
