Create a simple class for using attributes

Go to SE24( Class Builder).

Give the class name ZCL_SAPN1 and create.

Provide short description, save.

Save it in a Local Object or in your test package.

Go to attributes tab and define an attribute as below.

Create a ABAP program in SE38 and add below code

DATA : LR_CLASS TYPE REF TO ZCL_SAPN1 . "STEP1--WE DECLARE CLASSES USING

REF TO BECAUSE THEY ARE OBJECTS
CREATE OBJECT LR_CLASS. "STEP2--CREATE OBJECT FOR THE CLASS
*CALL CLASS COMPONENT WITH THE INSTANCE
LR_CLASS->AV_NAME = 'ATTRIBUTE NAME'. "USE CLASS COMPONENTS

DATA : LR_CLASS1 TYPE REF TO ZCL_SAPN1 . "Declare first class object

DATA : LR_CLASS2 TYPE REF TO ZCL_SAPN1 . "Declare second class object

CREATE OBJECT LR_CLASS1. "Create a first object

CREATE OBJECT LR_CLASS2. "Create a second object
*CALL CLASS COMPONENT WITH THE INSTANCE
LR_CLASS1->AV_NAME = 'FIRST ATTRIBUTE NAME'. "Assign value to first object

LR_CLASS2->AV_NAME = 'SECOND ATTRIBUTE NAME'. "Assign value to second
