Method INITIALIZE 

The INITIALIZE method reads data from the customizing tables that determine the behavior of the current instance.

Sample source text:

METHOD if_expression_brf~initialize.

  

   CALL METHOD super->if_expression_brf~initialize.

  

    CALL METHOD CL_DB_BRF=>GET_TBRF130_SINGLE

    EXPORTING

      IV_EXPRESSION      = if_expression_brf~ms_brf150-expression

    IMPORTING

      ES_BRF130          = ms_brf130

    EXCEPTIONS

      NOTHING_FOUND      = 1

      others             = 2.

   (…)

   ENDMETHOD.

 

  

Description:

The INITIALIZE method has the following effect:

●      It gets the following information from table TBRF130:

○       Type of linkage of the three operands 

○       The operands themselves

●      It calls the INITIALIZE method of the superclass so that the system can read the following information:

○       The required information from table TBRF150 to table MS_BRF150 (table of all expressions and their joint features)

○       The required information from table TBRF260 to table MS_BRF260 (table of all operands)
