Each line of the parameter table ATTRIBUTE_LINES contains all the attributes which you have selected for one object method in one long string. If not all of the attributes of the related object method fit into one line, there is a "virtual" split into several lines or entries.

When you exchange attributes using ATTRIBUTE_LINES, you must specify in DEFINITIONS the sequence, position and length that these attributes have or should have.

The parameter table ATTRIBUTE_LINES has the same ABAP/4 dictionary structure as IFATTRIBS .

For detailed information on the field type refer to Data Formats of Attributes in Object Methods.

Field	Type	Length	Description
REFNUMBER	NUMC	6	Determines link between OBJECT_METHODS and ATTRIBUTE_LINES
ATTRIBLINE	CHAR	500	Contains all attributes of one object method They are divided by SEPARATOR, if you have defined one, or their position and length are defined in DEFINITIONS .

You must sort the lines of the ATTRIBUTE_LINES table in ascending order by REFNUMBER . When adjacent lines in ATTRIBUTE_LINES contain the same REFNUMBER , they are concatenated to fit within the value in the ATTRIBUTES_LENGTH field . In this case the system will only take the length of ATTRIBUTE_LINES into account which you defined in the parameter ATTRIBUTES_LENGTH.
