    The document discusses object constructors in ABAP. Constructors are special methods that are called automatically to initialize a new object. There are instance and static constructors. Instance constructors have the predefined name CONSTRUCTOR while static constructors use CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR. Static constructors are called before object creation and method calls to initialize class-level attributes. The document provides an example of defining a static constructor to initialize a static variable.

    REPORT ZDEMO_OBJCONSTRUCTORS.

    *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.

    *Constructors are methods with a predefined name. To use them, you must declare
    them explicitly in the class.

    *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.

    *
    *Static constructor is declared by CLASS-METHODS CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR statement. Here
    the naming convention must be followed. If we give any other name then that will
    not be the static constructor. Now static constuctor is called
    *1. before any other attributes and methods by using obj->var & obj->meth,
    *2. before any other static attributes and methods by using cls=>var & cls=>meth,
    *3. before creating of an object by using create object obj,
    *4. before registering an event handler method by using set handler cls=>meth for
    the object obj.
    *
    *Below is a program where we have defined a static data and a static constructor.
    The static constructor is implemented in the method - endmethod portion. In the
    start of selection we write the static attribute but in the output we can see the
    static
    *constructor function comes first.
