• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBOSC014 - Error while executing method &1; method is not redefined ?

  The SAP error message DBOSC014 indicates that there is an issue with a method that is being called in the context of an Object-Oriented ABAP program. Specifically, the error message states that the method is not redefined, which typically means that the method being invoked is not properly defined in the class or interface hierarchy.
  Cause:
  
  Method Not Defined: The method being called is not defined in the class or interface from which it is being called. This can happen if the method is expected to be overridden in a subclass but is not.
  Incorrect Class/Interface: The class or interface from which the method is being called may not be the correct one, leading to the method not being found.
  Inheritance Issues: If the method is supposed to be inherited from a superclass or implemented from an interface, there may be issues with the inheritance structure.
  Typographical Errors: There could be a typo in the method name or parameters, leading to the method not being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Method Definition: Verify that the method is defined in the class or interface you are working with. If it is supposed to be overridden, ensure that it is correctly defined in the subclass.
  Review Class Hierarchy: Check the class hierarchy to ensure that the method is correctly inherited from the superclass or implemented from the interface.
  Correct Typographical Errors: Look for any typos in the method name or parameters in the calling code.
  Reimplement the Method: If the method is part of an interface, ensure that it is implemented in the class that is supposed to implement that interface.
  Check for Changes: If the code was recently changed, ensure that the changes did not inadvertently remove or alter the method definition.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Object-Oriented ABAP to understand the principles of method overriding and class inheritance.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the method call is failing.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE24 (Class Builder) to inspect the class and method definitions.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the DBOSC014 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
