OLE2INCL
All applications controlled by ABAP/4 must be entered in the table TOLE which you maintain with the
Transaction SOLE. This table also indicates whether type information exists for a particular
application. Type information describes all the objects of an application, all its properties and methods,
as well as its parameters.
You can load type information into the R/3 System (table OLELOAD) with the Transaction SOLI. The
ABAP/4 processor can then perform the necessary type conversions and be language-independent of the
OLE application. For all OLE applications delivered as standard by SAP, the English version is supplied
in the OLELOAD.
In addition to runtime information in the table OLELOAD, you can also use the Transaction SOLI to
load other information such as documentation and WinHelp references. You can then access this
information in the SAP environment with the Object Browser (Transaction SOLO).
For programming in the OLE environment, you must use the OLE-specific include OLE2INCL.
