class definition load. in interface definition

Hi,

acutally that's not really an ADT question but anyway I think it's the right place to post it.

I'm just editing an interface definition in Eclipse which was created in SE80 or SE24. I found a statement which I didn't understand:

Just before a method definition there is a statement:

  class <<CL_CLASS_NAME>> definition load.

In the following method definition is a public type used of <<CL_CLASS_NAME>>. I checked the F1 help and there is even written that "definition load" is obsolete. If I remove it, I don't get a syntax error.

Not to mention: If I would create the interface definition in Eclipse, I would not write that statement.

Is this statement really needed or is it just generated by SE24 but acutally obsolete?

Thanks & Cheers,

Martin
