1. Constructors are special methods that cannot be called using CALL METHOD. Instead, they are
called automatically by the system to set the starting state of a new object or class.
2. Constructors are methods with a predefined name. To use them, you must declare them
explicitly in the class.
3. There are two types of constructors - Instance constructors and Static constructors.
The Instance constructor of a class is the predefined instance method CONSTRUCTOR.
The constructor's signature can have only importing parameters or exceptions.
Instance Constructor is a special instance method can access the Instance Variables and
Static Variables.
This method is used to set the default values in a class.
The Static constructor of a class is the predefined static method CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR.
The constructor's signature cannot have importing parameters or exceptions.
The static constructor is as special static method can access the static variables.
These are used to set default values for the global attributes irrespective of instances.
Multiple Instance and Static Constructors cannot be used in one class.
Creating the Instance Constructor and Static Constructor using SE24 (Global class)
Step1: Go to SE24 Create Global Class ZCONSTRUCTOR_SALES

Step8: Select the Constructor Method Select the Parameters and Create the Parameter
Step9: The parameter IM_VBELN is used to importing into Constructor Method. Used to initialize
the value
Step10: For the Constructor, parameter type is always importing. No other Parameter type can be

Step13: To declare the Structure (with required fields) and Table
Step14: t_vbak is defaulted in the Types tab which has be declared in earlier step

Step16: Double click the Constructor and Implement the code.
Step17: Go to Select Method Create Parameters
Step18: Go to Select Method Double Click the Method and Implement the code
Step19: Activate the Class and Go to SE38 Create a Program: ZCONSTRUCTOR_SALES.
Implement the code and execute the Program
Step20: Execute the Program without giving any sales document number.
Step21: The Output is displayed as shown below with the Constructor method with the default
initial values
Step22: Give the Sales Document as: 4971
Step23: The output is displayed for the corresponding Sales document
Static Constructor
Step24: Within the Same Global Class Create the Static Constructor. Click on Class Constructor
OR
Menu Edit Create Class Constructor.
