• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ENHANCEMENT245 - Class name & refers to an interface ?

  The SAP error message ENHANCEMENT245 indicates that there is an issue related to the use of a class name that refers to an interface. This typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming when you are trying to implement or use a class that is expected to be a concrete class but is actually defined as an interface.
  
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Class/Interface Usage: The error usually arises when you attempt to instantiate an interface or use it in a context where a concrete class is expected. In ABAP, interfaces cannot be instantiated directly; they are meant to define methods that can be implemented by classes.
  Typographical Error: There might be a typo in the class name, leading to the wrong reference.
  Misconfiguration: The class might be incorrectly configured in the system, or the implementation might not be properly defined.

  Check Class Definition: Verify that the class you are trying to use is indeed a concrete class
