ABAP Implementation
- Hannah.Dela
The ABAP Implementation Class contains a series of methods in which you can redefine to include your own processes. FAB provides the superclass /IQX/CL_FORMS_BASE_CLASS with many ABAP methods for redefinition. From any of these methods, the developer is free to branch out into their own ABAP code to cover their specific business scenarios.
Methods appear on the Form-Life Cycle screen according to the selected Workflow Mode. Below is a tabulated comparison of methods displayed in both Classic and Process Workflow modes:
