How To Fix EU362 - & is defined in more than one place (ambiguous modification)

EU362 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EU - Development Environment

• Message number: 362

• Message text: & is defined in more than one place (ambiguous modification)

What causes this issue?

A program unit occurs several times with the same name in the source to
be processed. The Modification Assistant cannot, therefore, make a
unique assignment.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

You have two options for executing the modification all the same:
1. Switch off the Modification Assistant for the current source and
then execute the modification. However, you will not receive any
support with the upgrade from the Modification Assistant.
2. In the modification of the program unit, include the previous
program unit so that the modification is unique (for example, replace
the previous program unit, include the one to be modified).

EU362 - Details

• The SAP error message EU362, which indicates "Ambiguous modification," typically arises when there are conflicting or overlapping modifications in the system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when multiple enhancements or modifications are applied to the same object or when there are conflicting entries in the modification adjustment.
  
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Modifications: The same object (like a program, function module, or screen) has been modified in more than one place, leading to ambiguity about which modification should take precedence.
  Transport Conflicts: If multiple transports containing modifications to the same object are imported into the system, it can lead to conflicts.
  Inconsistent Development: Different developers may have made changes to the same object without proper coordination, resulting in overlapping modifications.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Conflicting Modifications: Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE84 (Repository Information System) to analyze the modifications made to the object in question. Look for enhancement spots, user exits, or modifications that may
