• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5E618 - Type &1 object not instantiated in method &2 of class &3 ?

  The SAP error message 5E618 indicates that there is an issue with an object not being instantiated properly in a specific method of a class. This error typically arises in ABAP programming when an attempt is made to use an object that has not been created or initialized.
  Cause:
  
  Object Not Instantiated: The most common cause is that the object of a class was declared but not instantiated using the CREATE OBJECT statement.
  Scope Issues: The object might have gone out of scope or was not passed correctly to the method.
  Conditional Logic: There may be conditional logic that prevents the object from being instantiated under certain conditions.
  Error in Constructor: If the constructor of the class fails or raises an exception, the object may not be created successfully.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Instantiation: Ensure that the object is instantiated before it is used. For example:
  DATA: lo_object TYPE REF TO your_class.
  CREATE OBJECT lo_object.
  
  Review Method Calls: Check the method where the error occurs and ensure that the object is being passed correctly if it is expected as a parameter.
  Debugging: Use the debugger to step through the code and verify that the object is being created as expected. Look for any conditions that might prevent the instantiation.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in the constructor of the class to ensure that any issues during instantiation are caught and handled appropriately.
  Check Class Definition: Ensure that the class definition is correct and that all necessary components are properly defined.
