In regards to the previous post ABAP Objects – Access Text from Super Class Text Symbols, one of readers Dirk Wittenberg pointed to me completely different view.

    Hi,

    Imo SAP has not designed as text-symbols as attributes of the class – hence they can’t be classified as PUBLIC, PRIVATE or PROTECTED.

    In fact they belong to the text pool of the particular class pool (http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_731/en/abenclass_pool_glosry.htm) & hence cannot be accessed in sub-classes.

    BR,

    Well, if I had read what Suhas posted, my vote would be neither!

    Thanks Suhas!

  • Hello Suhas,

    I agree that there isn’t any visibility defined to Text Symbols of the Classes. Thus defeating the purpose of OO ABAP. πŸ™
