circular object definition OK?

[Stephan Becker]

attributes are read when they are queried in the workflow at runtime. thus
if you don't querie down to the n'th degree (i.e.
fipp.fipp.fipp.fipp.fipp.fipp.fipp.fipp..........), you should be all right.
I once tried this, and the graphical representation in the object testing
environment gave up after nine levels or so, but there was no abend or so.
Cheers,
Stephan
 
P.S.: By the way, don't you think we should get out more if we start asking
each other these questions? ;-)

To SAP OO Experts:
 
Within a business object (ex. FIPP) definition, is it OK to create an (FIPP)
object attribute?   I believe that R/3 populates an object's attributes when
an object is created at runtime.  Will self-referencing cause memory
overflow?
 
Thanks, Yan
