CREATE OBJECT ole class [NO FLUSH] [QUEUE-ONLY].
1. ... NO FLUSH
2. ... QUEUE-ONLY
This statement creates the automation object ole of the automation class class. The object ole must be of type ole2_object, which is defined in the ABAP Dictionary in the type group OLE2. When specifying the automation class class, a character-like data object is expected, which contains the name of the class.
The system automatically executes an authorization check if the column AUTH_CHK in the database table
TOLE contains the value "X" for the class. The authorization status can be checked with the function module AUTHORITY_CHECK_OLE.
System Fields
| sy-subrc | Meaning |
| 0 | Automation object is created. |
| 1 | Communication to SAP GUI with errors. |
| 2 | Function call in SAP GUI with errors. |
| 3 | Problems with memory allocation on the presentation server. |
An automation object ole created using
CREATE OBJECT ole must also be released by using FREE OBJECT ole to avoid memory bottle necks and terminations of the application to be controlled.
... NO FLUSH
When using the addition NO FLUSH, calls from automation methods are collected in the automation buffer until the function module FLUSH - which is provided for this purpose - is called and the FREE OBJECT statement is passed or, at the most, until a change of screen. They are then transferred to the automation server on the current presentation
server for asynchronous execution. Without this addition, the Flush is executed and the transfer takes
place as soon as a statement that does not belong to the automation command set is reached. Note that
in the ABAP Debugger, the return values of the individual automation statements are not available until after the transfer to the presentation server.
... QUEUE-ONLY
The effect of the addition QUEUE-ONLY is that during the flush, the created object is not transferred as a return value using methods called by CALL METHOD OF to the specified ABAP data object rc. In this case, the automation buffer can only contain the statements CREATE OBJECT, CALL METHOD, and GET PROPERTY using the addition QUEUE-ONLY. When executing the program in the ABAP Debugger, the return values are passed by default.
In this example, the automation object app is created, which has access to all methods and attributes of the class APPLICATION in the MS Excel Library. This class contains methods with which, for example, an Excel document can be opened or copied.
