5AT109 - Details

• The SAP error message 5AT109, which states "Attribute &1 cannot be redefined locally," typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when dealing with class attributes in the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm.
  
  Cause:
  This error arises when you attempt to redefine an attribute of a superclass in a subclass. In ABAP, attributes (or properties) that are defined in a superclass cannot be redefined in a subclass. This is because attributes are meant to maintain a consistent interface across the class hierarchy. 
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Remove the Redefinition: If you do not need to change the attribute in the subclass, simply remove the redefinition from the subclass.
  
  
  Use a Different Attribute Name: If you need a similar attribute in the subclass, you can define a new attribute with a different name in the subclass.
  
  
  Use Methods for Different Behavior: If the intention was to change the behavior associated
