Usage of "is instance of" in 740

[marianfoo]

It is checked whether runnable is an instance of ZIF_RUNNABLE.

zthread/src/zcl_thread.clas.abap

Line 251 in 0c8cdb7

o_runnable is instance of zif_runnable

This is done using "is instance of" which is only available from 7.50 onwards.
We are still on 7.4 and this displays an syntax error:

We´ve replaced it currently with:
rv_is_runnable = xsdbool( cl_wdy_wb_reflection_helper=>is_instance_of( object = o_runnable type_name = 'ZIF_RUNNABLE' ) and lv_name <> '\CLASS=ZCL_THREAD' ).

Do we have another option here?

Hi marianfoo, I'm unaware of options at the moment. I'm currently off. When I get the time I will have a look on the code you sent and see if I can find a more generally available option.
Thank you for

I'm also aware the serialization is not correct for some scenarios, I have the fix but still need to merge.
