BUG(?): delete a class in object navigator

Posted on Feb 19, 2005 at 04:39 PM 276 Views

Hello,

I think I encountered a rather major bug in the ABAP-Workbench / Object Navigator yesterday and still suffer from it:

I created an Interface - let's say IF_A - as well as an implementing class CL_A.

Later I moved both into another package by copying them.

Let's say they are now called IF_B and CL_B.

Obviously CL_B still contains references to IF_A when inspected or edited in the class builder. Any attempt to make CL_B implement IF_B failed.

As I saved the source code of each method of CL_A in wise foresight I now wanted to delete CL_B and rebuild it from scratch.

Deletion of class CL_B is not possible and gives numerous errors including something like '... class is already deleted...' but - sad enough - it still does exist.

So right now I have no chance to get rid of CL_B but I need to implement this class under the name CL_B - which is obviously a major problem - as soon as possible...

If anyone has a solution to this problem I would be more then happy !

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Patrick Baer

    Wow...sounds interesting. Have you checked OSS for anything that resembles this problem. I would suggest checking there first.

    Hello,

    this morning I solved the problem.

    The key step in the solution was to use:

    Utilities -> Clean Up -> Method includes

    from the menu bar in the class builder.

    This finally removed all References to the old IF_A and I was able to implement the new IF_B successfully.

    SAP should nevertheless consider to improve consistency when moving / renaming / copying / deleting classes and interfaces.

    P.S.: I'm on Release 6.20 Level 46

    Best regards,
