ABAP/4 Statements for OLE 2.0
Five new ABAP/4 statements:
© SAP AG
DATA: object TYPE OLE2_OBJECT.
w CREATE OBJECT object class
w GET PROPERTY OF object property = field
w SET PROPERTY OF object property = field
w CALL METHOD OF object method
§ EXPORTING prop1 = field1 ... propN = fieldN
w FREE OBJECT object
You must first define the object with the above DATA statement.
CREATE OBJECT checks the existence of the object and generates an OBJECT_HANDLE. To be able
to address an OLE Automation server from ABAP/4, the server must be registered as a class in the R/3
System.
GET PROPERTY allows you to copy the property property to the field field.
SET PROPERTY sets the property property with the contents of the field field.
You use CALL METHOD to call the method method (either a literal or a variable) of the object object.
With EXPORTING, you pass the field values to the parameters of the method.
FREE OBJECT releases the resources at the frontend.
