ZOBJECT TYPES

[Michael Pokraka]

Hi Diane,
What version are you on? I stand to correction, but as of 4.x, delegation is
a standard feature of object types.
 
This is quite neat, and also the 'recommended' procedure:
Use your standard obj type (BUS2001) in your tasks. For starters, this makes
any upgrade path simpler. If you need to add extra attributes, methods etc,
create a subtype ZBUS2001 and set up a delegation. (Trans. SWO6, or from
your BOR - SWO1 - goto Settings -> Delegate -> System-wide). Enter your
supertype and the subtype to which 'other' stuff is delegated.
What this effectively does is:
You define e.g. ZBUS2001.MYATTRIBUTE, and then access BUS2001.MYATTRIBUTE
from your task, it will automatically execute the code contained in
ZBUS2001.
 
The only 'drawback' is that you can only have ONE delegation (but kinda
makes sense). Thus all your methods should be coded within the same object
type. If you have to create a ZBUS2001_2 for whatever reason, you'll have to
use that in your task.

Hi guys (implied gals too), great site.  Lots of information.  I need
verification on something.  In all my training we used a copy of the SAP
delivered object types, i.e., ZBUS2001, in lieu of BUS2001, etc.,  Now that
we are creating standard tasks, I want to make sure that we need to make
this copy.  What is a rule of thumb.  Should we in fact make a copy of any
object type we use or only in the case of when we want to modify the object?
Or should we copy the objects at all?
