Message number: 872
Message text: Corresponding class &1 (CLINT: &2) has incorrect class type (&3)
Sort rules and selection classes have to belong to particular class
types. Sort rules always belong to class type '040'. Depending on the
batch level configured, selection classes belong to class type '022' or
'023'.
The system therefore removed the assigned selection class from table
T685H.
If you require a sort rule or selection class, you have to subsequently
maintain these. Maintain the strategy types for batch determination.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

12872
- Corresponding class &1 (CLINT: &2) has incorrect class type (&3) ?The SAP error message 12872 indicates that there is a mismatch in the class type for a specified class in the system. This error typically arises in the context of object-oriented programming in ABAP, where a class is expected to be of a certain type but is found to be of a different type.
Cause:
The error message "Corresponding class &1 (CLINT: &2) has incorrect class type (&3)" can occur due to several reasons:
- Class Type Mismatch: The class being referenced does not match the expected class type. For example, a class might be expected to be a local class but is defined as a global class, or vice versa.
- Incorrect Class Definition: The class might not be defined correctly in the system, or there may be an issue with the class's visibility or scope.
- Inheritance Issues: If the class is part of an inheritance hierarchy, there may be issues with the parent class or interface that is being implemented.
- Transport Issues: If the class was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies in the transport that lead to this error.
Solution:
To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
- Check Class Definition: Verify the definition of the class in question. Ensure that it is defined correctly and matches the expected type.
- Review Inheritance: If the class is part of an inheritance structure, check the parent classes and interfaces to ensure they are defined correctly and are accessible.
- Check Visibility: Ensure that the class is declared with the correct visibility (public, protected, private) as required by the context in which it is being used.
- Recompile Classes: Sometimes recompiling the classes involved can resolve inconsistencies. You can do this by using transaction SE80 or SE24.
- Check Transport Logs: If the class was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues with the transport.
- Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using the ABAP debugger to trace where the error occurs and gather more context about the class types being used.
