• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS070 - Abstract entities with parameters are not supported ?

  The SAP error message DDLS070 indicates that you are trying to create or modify an abstract entity that has parameters in a way that is not supported by the system. Abstract entities in SAP are typically used in the context of data modeling, particularly in the ABAP Dictionary or when working with Core Data Services (CDS) views.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are attempting to define an abstract entity (like an abstract class or interface) that includes parameters, which is not allowed in the current context.
  The syntax or structure of your definition does not comply with the rules for abstract entities in SAP.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Definition: Check the definition of the abstract entity you are trying to create or modify. Ensure that it does not include parameters. Abstract entities should be defined without parameters.
  
  
  Modify the Entity: If you need to use parameters, consider using a concrete entity instead of an abstract one. Concrete entities can have parameters and can be instantiated.
  
  
  Check Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific version you are using to understand the limitations and rules regarding abstract entities and parameters.
  
  
  Use Alternative Approaches: If your design requires parameters, you might need to rethink your approach. For example, you could use methods in a concrete class that accept parameters instead of trying to define them in an abstract entity.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Sometimes, specific issues may be addressed in SAP Notes. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes that might provide additional guidance or fixes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Abstract Entities: In SAP, abstract entities are used to define a common interface or structure that can be extended by concrete entities. They cannot be instantiated directly.
  Core Data Services (CDS): If you are working with CDS views, ensure that your definitions comply with the CDS syntax and rules.
  ABAP Dictionary: Familiarize yourself with the ABAP Dictionary and its rules regarding entity definitions, especially when dealing with abstract entities.
  
  If you continue to face issues after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
