Method

How can i search a string in a method?

What are the tables that store the name of the methods, and all the information that they have?

I know that the table tadir stores the objects but i cant find the link to the table tmdir that keeps the methods.

If anyone could answer...

Thanks.

Hello Rui,

I see that this is your first post to the SDN Forums. I extend a hearty welcome to you.

Coming to the question that you have posed, the table TMDIR, if you have noticed, is not linked to any other table.

You have said that you want to search a string in a <i>method</i>. Here, considering the remainder of your description, I assume that you want to search for a string in a <i>method name</i>. If that is the case, then you can go to SE16 and search for the method name from the table TMDIR.

Thanks for answering my question. My english is very bad, but i'll try to explain better, i want to search a string inside a method....

Example: i have a program that search strings in all programs that i have(source code of the programs, comentary, etc...). Now i want to extend it to the methods.... I want to search a string in the source code of a method.... So then i can view it in a alv grid of my main program.

Thanks for taking the time for viewing my question.

Hello Rui,

I now get what you are trying to do. Let me explain. The code that you write for the methods of the class is stored in include programs, just the same way a Function Modules' code is stored in an include program.

And just as the include for a FM's code has a particular naming convention, so does the code for a method of a class.

For example, consider the class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID. the methods of this class are stored in includes of the form CL_GUI_ALV_GRID*. Now I shall leave it up to you to find out which method is stored in which include :-).

Hope this information has been useful to you. If yes, then please do not forget to reward the points by clicking the Yellow Star.

P.S : I have enjoyed researching into this one too.

i understand all that you said, but there's still one thing that i can't do, how can i read a source code of a method. Ex: read report '...~...' into .... .

Maybe the answer is in your previously answer, but my english....

thanks for wasting all this time with me.

Hi Rui

First of all, I think the methods are not coded in includes in a 1-to-1 relation as in function modules.

However, since you've given points to Poornanand, I assume you've achieved to find include name for a method. Then you can read the include with the statement "READ REPORT..." as you've mentioned and scan it for "METHOD" keyword. Or use some internal ABAP statements to parse the code to tokens and then get the coding.

Would anyone like to reveal how to find the "include" name from the class/method.
