CREATE OBJECT oref

Short Reference

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Syntax

CREATE OBJECT oref [area_handle] [parameter_list]. 

Effect

If the TYPE addition is not specified, the oref object must be a class reference variable. An instance of the class is created that is the static type of the object reference variables. The static type of the class reference variables must not be an abstract class, and in particular must not be the root class object .

Example

Creation of an instance of a c1 class using an implicit reference to the static type of the reference variables.

CLASS c1 DEFINITION. 
  ... 
ENDCLASS.

DATA oref TYPE REF TO c1. 

...
