    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.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 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:

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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:

    1. Check Class Definition: Verify the definition of the class in question. Ensure that it is defined correctly and matches the expected type.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. Recompile Classes: Sometimes recompiling the classes involved can resolve inconsistencies. You can do this by using transaction SE80 or SE24.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE24 (Class Builder) to view and edit class definitions, and SE80 (Object Navigator) for a broader view of the objects in your system.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation on ABAP Object-Oriented Programming for more details on class definitions and types.
    • SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
