CREATE OBJECT oref

Quick Reference

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Syntax

CREATE OBJECT oref [
area_handle] [
parameter_list]. 

Effect

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

Note

When the character # is used in an operand position with the operand type of a class reference variable, the instance operator NEW works like the statement CREATE DATA dref.

Example

Creates an instance of a class cls using an implicit reference to the static type of the reference variables.

CLASS cls DEFINITION. 
  PUBLIC SECTION. 
    DATA attr type string VALUE 'Object'. 
ENDCLASS. 

DATA oref TYPE REF TO cls. 

CREATE OBJECT oref. 

cl_demo_output=>display( oref->attr ).
