ABAP Keyword Documentation → ABAP Glossary →constructor
A special method in a class that sets a defined initial value for the status (attributes) of the class or its objects. There is an instance constructor for instance attributes and a static constructor for static attributes. The constructors always exist implicitly, but must still be declared explicitly for your own implementations. Special constructor expressions also exist.
