INCLUDE

Short Reference

Syntax

INCLUDE incl [IF FOUND].

Effect

The statement INCLUDE includes the include program incl at this position in a source text. During syntax checking and generationof the program by the ABAP Compiler, the application is replaced by the source text of the include program. The included INCLUDE program must consist of full statements.

If the specified include program does not exist, a syntax error will be triggered. This error message can be suppressed by specifiying the addition IF FOUND.

Notes

• The statement INCLUDE is the only statement that can be used instead of astatementthat introduces a program at the first position of a program. The requirement is that, after execution of the include program, a statement that introduces a program is at the beginning of the including program.
  
  
• Use include programs exclusively for the source code modularization of a single ABAP program. Avoid reusing an include program in multiple programs.
  
  
• The ABAP Workbench supports the automatic creation of include programs for specific program parts, such as thetopinclude for global declarative statements. Always use the naming conventions proposed by the ABAP Workbench.
  
  
• The top include may only contain declarative statements and is taken into account when single include programs of a program are compiled.
  
  
• If used for declarations, an include program should enclose at least the declaration of a class or of an interface. If used for implementations, an include program should enclose at least one processing block.
  
  
• The ABAP Workbench supports the automatic creation of include programs for specific program parts, such as thetopinclude for global declarative statements. Always use the naming conventions proposed by the ABAP Workbench.
  
  
• In the Repository Browser of the ABAP Workbench's Object Navigator, the INCLUDE programs bound by a program are listed as its subnodes.
  
  
  

Example

These lines show the framework program of the function group ABAP_DOCU which represents the keyword documentation on theApplicationServer ABAP. It contains exclusively INCLUDE statements which embed the actual source code.labap_docutop itself is made up of include programs for the individual declarations (global data and class declarations local to the program).
