• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS101 - Object of type & is undefined in calling method & ?

  The SAP error message DDLS101 indicates that there is an issue with an object that is being referenced in a method call, specifically that the object of the specified type is undefined. This typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when dealing with data dictionary objects or when using certain methods in ABAP classes.
  Cause:
  
  Undefined Object: The object you are trying to access has not been defined or instantiated. This could be due to a typo in the object name or a failure to create an instance of the object before calling a method on it.
  Scope Issues: The object may be out of scope, meaning it was defined in a different context or method and is not accessible in the current context.
  Data Dictionary Issues: If the object is a database table or structure, it may not exist in the data dictionary, or there may be a problem with the transport of the object.
  Incorrect Type: The object type being referenced may not match the expected type in the method call.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Definition: Ensure that the object is properly defined and instantiated before it is used. If it is a class instance, make sure you have created it using the CREATE OBJECT statement.
  DATA: lo_object TYPE REF TO your_class.
  CREATE OBJECT lo_object.
  
  
  Verify Object Name: Double-check the spelling and case of the object name to ensure it matches the defined object.
  
  
  Scope Verification: Ensure that the object is within the correct scope. If it is defined in a different method or class, you may need to pass it as a parameter or define it in a broader scope.
  
  
  Data Dictionary Check: If the object is a database table or structure, check the data dictionary (transaction SE11) to ensure that it exists and is active. If it was recently created or modified, ensure that it has been activated.
  
  
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and check the state of the object at runtime. This can help identify where the object becomes undefined.
  
  
  Review Method Signature: Ensure that the method you are calling is expecting the correct type of object. If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust the type or convert the object accordingly.
