Detailed Description

Functions for creating, reading and traversing through ABAP class descriptions.

Function Documentation

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcAddClassAttribute	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classDesc,
		const RFC_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE_DESC *	attrDesc,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Adds a new attribute (field, structure, table, method) to the class description.

Note: After the function description has been used via RfcCreateAbapObject() or RfcAddClassDesc(), it can no longer be modified!

Parameters

[in]	classDesc	The class description.
[in]	*attrDesc	Metadata description of the new class attribute.
[out]	*errorInfo	More details in case something goes wrong.

Returns: RFC_RC

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcAddImplementedInterface	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classDesc,
		const RFC_CLASS_NAME	name,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Adds an interface to the list of implemented interfaces of the given class.

Parameters

[in]	classDesc	The class metadata description.
[in]	name	Name of implemented interface to be added.
[out]	*errorInfo	Not much can go wrong here except out of memory.

Returns: RFC_RC

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcAddParentClass	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classDesc,
		const RFC_CLASS_NAME	name,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Sets the parent classes of the given class.

Parameters

[in]	classDesc	The class metadata description.
[in]	name	Parent class name to be added.
[out]	*errorInfo	No such parameter?

Returns: RFC_RC

DECL_EXP RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE SAP_API RfcCreateClassDesc	(	SAP_UC const *	name,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Creates an empty class description with the given name.

Add attribute descriptions to the new RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE via RfcAddAttribute().
After the handle was used for creating a container, any modifications are forbidden.

Parameters

[in]	*name	The name of the ABAP class.
[out]	*errorInfo	Probably not enough memory left?!

Returns: An empty function description that can be used for constructing hard-coded metadata.

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcDestroyClassDesc	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classHandle,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Deletes the class description and releases the allocated resources.

Only descriptions, which are not stored in a repository cache and not used by the application, can be deleted. Deleting a cached description will cause an error, and deleting a description that is still in use, will lead to a crash.

Parameters

[in]	classHandle	The class description to be deleted.
[out]	*errorInfo	More details in case the description can not be destroyed.

Returns: RFC_RC

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcGetClassAttributeDescByIndex	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classDesc,
		unsigned	index,
		RFC_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE_DESC *	attrDesc,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Reads the metadata description of the class attribute.

Note: Is useful mostly when looping over all attributes of a class.

Parameters

[in]	classDesc	The class metadata description.
[in]	index	The index of the attributes to describe.
[out]	*attrDesc	Metadata description of the class attribute.
[out]	*errorInfo	Index out of bounds?

Returns: RFC_RC

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcGetClassAttributeDescByName	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classDesc,
		SAP_UC const *	name,
		RFC_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE_DESC *	attrDesc,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Reads the metadata description of a class attribute given by name.

Parameters

[in]	classDesc	The class metadata description.
[in]	*name	The name of the parameter to describe.
[out]	*attrDesc	Metadata description of the class attribute.
[out]	*errorInfo	No such parameter?

Returns: RFC_RC

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcGetClassAttributesCount	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classDesc,
		unsigned *	count,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Returns the number of parameters in the function module definition.

Parameters

[in]	classDesc	The class description.
[out]	*count	The number of attributes.
[out]	*errorInfo	Nothing can go wrong here.

Returns: RFC_RC

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcGetClassName	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classDesc,
		RFC_ABAP_NAME	bufferForName,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Returns the class's DDIC name.

Parameters

[in]	classDesc	The class description.
[out]	bufferForName	Will receive the function module's DDIC name (zero terminated).
[out]	*errorInfo	Should always return successfully.

Returns: RFC_RC

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcGetImplementedInterfaceByIndex	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classDesc,
		unsigned	index,
		RFC_CLASS_NAME	name,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Returns the implemented interfaces of the given class.

Parameters

[in]	classDesc	The class metadata description.
[in]	index	Index of the implemented interface.
[out]	name	Buffer for the implemented interface's name.
[out]	*errorInfo	Index out of bounds?

Returns: RFC_RC

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcGetImplementedInterfacesCount	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classDesc,
		unsigned *	implementedInterfacesCount,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Returns the number of parent interfaces of the given class.

Parameters

[in]	classDesc	The class metadata description.
[out]	*implementedInterfacesCount	Number of implemented interfaces.
[out]	*errorInfo	Should always be successful.

Returns: RFC_RC

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcGetParentClassByIndex	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classDesc,
		RFC_CLASS_NAME	name,
		unsigned	index,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Returns the parent classes of the given class.

Parameters

[in]	classDesc	The class metadata description.
[in]	name	The parent class name.
[in]	index	Index of parent class.
[out]	*errorInfo	Current class does not inherit from parent class?

Returns: RFC_RC

DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcGetParentClassesCount	(	RFC_CLASS_DESC_HANDLE	classDesc,
		unsigned *	parentClassesCount,
		RFC_ERROR_INFO *	errorInfo
	)

Returns the number of parent classes of the given class.

Parameters
