• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ENHANCEMENT265 - Interface & contains a Non-import parameter in method & ?

  The SAP error message "ENHANCEMENT265 Interface & contains a Non-import parameter in method &" typically occurs when there is an issue with the method signature in an interface that is being enhanced. This error is related to the use of non-import parameters in a method of an interface that is not allowed in certain contexts, particularly when dealing with enhancements or BAdIs (Business Add-Ins).
  Cause:
  
  Non-Import Parameters: The method in the interface has non-import parameters (like changing or exporting parameters) that are not allowed in the context of the enhancement.
  Interface Definition: The interface might be defined in a way that does not support non-import parameters, especially if it is being used in a context where only import parameters are expected.
  Enhancement Implementation: When implementing an enhancement, if the method signature does not match the expected signature (e.g., if it includes non-import parameters), this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Method Signature: Review the method signature in the interface and ensure that it only contains import parameters. If you need to use changing or exporting parameters, consider redesigning the method or using a different approach.
  Modify Enhancement Implementation: If you are implementing an enhancement, ensure that your implementation matches the method signature of the interface. Remove any non-import parameters from your implementation.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific interface you are working with to understand the expected method signature and any restrictions on parameters.
  Use Alternative Approaches: If you need to pass data that requires changing or exporting parameters, consider using other mechanisms such as global variables, tables, or other methods that allow for such parameters.
