Area MY_AREA is created in Transaction SHMA with the area root class CL_MY_DATA.

Once an area handle that is referenced by my_handle has been created, which is bound to an area instance version of the MY_AREA area with write authorization, an instance of the area root class CL_MY_DATA of the area is created, sets it as a root object and calls a method there that imports the data into the object. 

DATA: my_handle TYPE REF TO cl_my_area,
      my_data   TYPE REF TO cl_my_data.

TRY.

    my_handle = cl_my_area=>attach_for_write( ).

    CREATE OBJECT my_data AREA HANDLE my_handle.

    my_handle->set_root( my_data ).

    my_data->read_spfli( ).

    my_handle->detach_commit( ).

  CATCH cx_shm_attach_error.
    ...
ENDTRY.

In a different program, the shared object can be accessed as follows, by calling a method here that outputs the object’s data.

DATA my_handle TYPE REF TO cl_my_area.

TRY.

    my_handle = cl_my_area=>attach_for_read( ).

    my_handle->root->output_spfli( ).

    my_handle->detach( ).

  CATCH cx_shm_attach_error.
    ...
ENDTRY.
