  The SAP error message C0659, which states "Variable & is not defined," typically occurs in the context of SAP ABAP programming, particularly when working with variable declarations in reports or forms. This error indicates that the program is trying to use a variable that has not been declared or defined in the scope of the program.
  Cause:
  
  Undeclared Variable: The variable being referenced has not been declared in the program.
  Scope Issues: The variable may be declared in a different scope (e.g., within a different subroutine or method) and is not accessible in the current context.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the variable name, leading to the system not recognizing it.
  Missing Data Declaration: The variable might be expected to be defined in a data dictionary or structure that is not included in the program.

  Check Scope: If the variable is declared in a subroutine or method, ensure that it is passed correctly or declared as a global variable if needed.
  Correct Typographical Errors: Review the code for any spelling mistakes in the variable name.
  Include Necessary Data Elements: If the variable is supposed to be part of a structure or table, ensure that the relevant data dictionary objects are included in the program.
  Use the Right Context: If the variable is part of a class or interface, ensure that you are using it in the correct context and that the class or interface is properly instantiated.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the variable is being referenced without being defined.
