Accessing object attributes in a method

[Ulrich Mende]

Hi, Josi
in your method you want to access the attributes of the object, don't
you?
If so, so for instance BUS1001 (material) has a property MaterialType,
which can be used in a method (of a sybtype of BUS1001) as followes:
 
  data: mattype like mara-mtart.
  SWC_GET_PROPERTY SELF 'MaterialType' mattype.
 
Best regards  Uli
