Error: Field "ENDMETHOD" is unknown

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am getting the following error:

Class ZPOSITION_INFORMATION,Method EXTRACT_DATA

Field "ENDMETHOD" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified

tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement. "DATA" statement.

Here is the code in the method EXTRACT_DATA

method EXTRACT_DATA .

data: emp_type type char50,

end_d type sy-datum,

loc type char04,

pers_sub type char04,

position_title type char40,

start_d type sy-datum .

select single empneededby from hrp9007 into start_date

where OBJID = POS_NUM .

write start_date .

write "hello world" .

endmethod.

Kind regards.

Again syntax in the WRITE statement, not double quotes, single quotes.

write 'hello world' .

endmethod.

I must appreciate your patience Rich. Many thanks. But again one more error (sorry for that).

Class ZPOSITION_INFORMATION,Public Section

Implementation missing for method "CONSTRUCTOR". "CONSTRUCTOR".

How important is the constructor. Do I always need to put something in constructor. Or can I skip the constructor alltogether.

Kind Regards.

When I try to test/execute the class, I get the message:

"You are not authorized to execute this object".

I am able to activate the class though.

How can I test the class.

Regards.

Constructor is the method of a class which executes automatically when an object of that class is instantiated. You need not put any code withing construct, unless you require to initialize public/private data of the object or assign default values.

For your second question, a class as such is not executable, a class is just a template. The object is instantiated at runtime, so you first instantiate the object and call its methods. This is how you will execute a method. Though, static methods can be executed independent of object instantiation.

Hi Vishnu,

Thanks for your reply!

I have one more problem.

When I try to test/execute the class, I get the message:

"You are not authorized to execute this object".

I am able to activate the class though.

How can I test the class.

Kind Regards.
