Source & Apps

Helpers for reading source code at runtime and for building stable URLs into hosted ABAP applications.

source_get_method

Returns the source code of a class method as a string_table. Works on cloud and on-prem; on cloud it uses xco_cp_abap.

DATA(lt_source) = zabaputil_cl_util=>source_get_method(
    iv_classname  = 'ZCL_FOO'
    iv_methodname = 'BAR' ).

source_get_method2

Convenience wrapper around source_get_method that returns the source as a single string.

DATA(lv_source) = zabaputil_cl_util=>source_get_method2(
    iv_classname  = 'ZCL_FOO'
    iv_methodname = 'BAR' ).

source_method_to_file

Renders a string_table of source lines into one downloadable string with proper line endings — meant to feed straight into a file/HTTP response.

DATA(lv_file) = zabaputil_cl_util=>source_method_to_file( lt_source ).

source_get_file_types

Returns the list of file types abap-util recognizes when handling source code (e.g. clas, intf, prog, tabl, …).

app_get_url

Build a complete URL into another ABAP-Cloud-hosted app, including HTTPS origin, path, query string and fragment.

DATA(lv_url) = zabaputil_cl_util=>app_get_url(
    classname = 'ZCL_MY_APP'
    origin    = 'https://abap.example.com'
    pathname  = '/sap/bc/ui2/flp'
    search    = 'sap-client=100'
    hash      = '#/Detail/123' ).

app_get_url_source_code

Build a deep link to the ADT-hosted source view of a class.

DATA(lv_url) = zabaputil_cl_util=>app_get_url_source_code(
    classname = 'ZCL_MY_APP'
    origin    = 'https://abap.example.com' ).

Useful when generating "view source" links inside an app (a pattern made popular by abap2UI5).
