  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3L808 - Method & not defined in implementation class A ?

    The SAP error message "3L808 Method & not defined in implementation class A" typically indicates that there is an issue with a method call in an ABAP program or class. This error occurs when the system is trying to invoke a method that has not been defined in the specified implementation class.

    Cause:

    1. Method Not Defined: The method being called does not exist in the specified class. This could be due to a typo in the method name or the method not being implemented in the class.
    2. Incorrect Class Reference: The class reference might be incorrect, leading to the system looking for the method in the wrong class.
    3. Version Mismatch: If the class has been changed or updated, and the method was removed or renamed, this error can occur.
    4. Interface Implementation: If the class is supposed to implement an interface and the method is part of that interface, but it has not been implemented, this error will arise.

    Solution:

    1. Check Method Name: Verify that the method name in the code matches exactly with the method defined in the class. Pay attention to case sensitivity and spelling.
    2. Review Class Definition: Open the implementation class in the ABAP Workbench (SE80 or SE24) and check if the method is defined. If it is not, you may need to implement it.
    3. Check Class Reference: Ensure that the correct class is being referenced in your code. If you are using inheritance, make sure that the method is defined in the parent class if it is being called from a child class.
    4. Interface Compliance: If the class is implementing an interface, ensure that all methods defined in the interface are implemented in the class.
    5. Transport Requests: If the code was recently transported from another system, ensure that all necessary objects (including classes and methods) were included in the transport request.
    6. Debugging: Use the debugger to trace the execution and see where the method call is failing. This can provide insights into the context of the error.

    Related Information:

    • ABAP Workbench (SE80): Use this transaction to navigate to the class and check its methods.
    • SE24: This transaction allows you to view and edit class definitions directly.
    • SE80: This is a more general tool for navigating various objects in SAP, including classes, function modules, and programs.
    • Documentation: Check the SAP documentation for the specific class and method to understand its intended use and any dependencies.

    If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for further assistance.
