• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ET015 - Object & declared as exception ?

  The SAP error message ET015, which states "Object & declared as exception," typically occurs when there is an issue with the declaration of an object in ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming). This error indicates that the object you are trying to use has been declared as an exception, which means it cannot be used in the context you are attempting.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Declaration: The object (like a class, method, or function module) has been declared as an exception, but you are trying to use it in a way that is not allowed.
  Scope Issues: The object may not be accessible in the current scope or context.
  Typographical Errors: There may be a typo in the object name or in the way it is being referenced.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Declaration: Review the declaration of the object in your ABAP code. Ensure that it is not declared as an exception if you intend to use it as a regular object.
  Correct Usage: If the object is indeed an exception, ensure that you are handling it correctly. For example, if it is a class method that raises an exception, you should use a TRY-CATCH block to handle it.
  Scope Verification: Ensure that the object is declared in the correct scope and is accessible where you are trying to use it.
  Review Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or the ABAP class/method documentation to understand the intended use of the object.
