local class -> global class

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

Can a local class make friend with global class???

for example i have a local class in se38 editor and this local class should access the private attribute of global class which is there in se24.

Hi

Yo can define your ABAP Unit test class as a friend of the global class to be tested in the local class definition include of your global class. So, you have to add a line of code like

<b>CLASS <name of global class to be tested> DEFINITION LOCAL FRIENDS <name of local ABAP Unit class></b> in the include where the definition of local ABAP Unit Class is in.

Then you can call the private methods of your global class in the local abap unit class methods.

Hi Dinesh,

Still i am not getting your point.

where should i declare the statement

<b>CLASS <name of global class to be tested> DEFINITION LOCAL FRIENDS <name of local ABAP Unit class></b>

is it in the global class where i should declare the above statement?

bcos when i declare this statement the "local class definition" of the global class it asks for local class <b><name of local ABAP Unit class></b>.

please help me out.

hi ,

private members cannot be inherited from the base class or super class..

if it is friend of this class means it will access the private members also ..
