<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Hello All,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">I've never used workflows with ABAP classes before but I am currently implementing a SAP standard workflow that uses just such a thing.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">However I need to make changes to this class.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">I have created a subclass and defined it's superclass as the one the workflow uses.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">However, as the attributes of the superclass are Private they seem to be unavailable to my subclass.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Also when I try to activate my subclass I get the error</FONT>
<BR><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">"The superclass has the property 'CREATE PRIVATE'. You cannot create an </FONT></I>
<BR><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">instance of the subclass. This can only be changed if the subclass is a </FONT></I>
<BR><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">friend of the superclass. "</FONT></I>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Making the subclass a friend of the superclass would be making a SAP modification.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">As there appears to be no delegation like there are with BOR Types, how are we supposed to use/extend standard SAP ABAP Classes ?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Many Thanks</FONT>
