CL513 - Details

• The SAP error message CL513 indicates that there is a recursive definition in a class type. This typically occurs when a class is defined in such a way that it references itself directly or indirectly, leading to an infinite loop in the class hierarchy.
  
  Cause:
  
  Self-Referencing Class: The class is defined in a way that it includes itself as a superclass or in its own attributes.
  Circular Reference: There may be a circular reference in the class hierarchy where Class A inherits from Class B, and Class B inherits from Class A.
  Incorrect Inheritance: The class might be incorrectly set up to inherit from another class that eventually leads back to itself.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Class Definitions: Check the class definition and its inheritance structure. Ensure that no class is referencing itself directly or indirectly.
  Modify Inheritance: If you find a circular reference, modify the inheritance structure to eliminate the recursion. This may involve changing the superclass or
