• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DD_ABAP_LANG_VERS003 - User &1 not allowed to edit object (&2, &3) due to ABAP language version ?

  The SAP error message DD_ABAP_LANG_VERS003 indicates that a user is not allowed to edit a specific object due to restrictions related to the ABAP language version. This typically occurs when the user is trying to modify an object (like a program, function module, or class) that was created or modified in a different ABAP language version than the one the user is currently using.
  Cause:

  Check User Language Settings: Ensure that the user is logged in with the correct language settings that match the language version of the object. You can check this in the user profile settings.
  Update User Authorizations: If the issue is related to authorizations, ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to edit the object. This may involve updating roles or profiles in the user management system.
  Use the Correct Development Environment: If the object was created in a newer version of ABAP, consider using a development environment that supports that version.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis team to check for any transport layer restrictions or system settings that may be causing the issue.
