ABAP Objects vs. BOR to trigger event?

[Sample, Rick]

Hi Mike,

When you were referring to GET_INSTANCE, you are saying it is just a method of the class with something like this? This is what I have for CreateInstance. Standard naming to call it GET_INSTANCE like my usage?

  TRY.
      CREATE OBJECT ex_instance
        EXPORTING
          im_salesdocument = im_salesdocument.
    CATCH cx_bo_error.
      EXIT.
  ENDTRY.

scratching the surface, but making some headway!
