• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS803 - Method &1 is not public ?

  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS803 indicates that there is an issue with the visibility of a method in the context of the SAP Fiori or SAP UI5 application development. Specifically, the error message states that the method &1 is not public, which means that the method cannot be accessed from the context in which it is being called.
  Cause:
  
  Method Visibility: The method you are trying to access is defined as private or protected in the class where it is implemented. In object-oriented programming, methods that are not public cannot be accessed from outside their defining class or from subclasses.
  Incorrect Method Call: The method might be called incorrectly, or the context in which it is being called does not have access to it.
  Class Definition Issues: There may be issues with the class definition or the way the method is declared.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Method Visibility: If you have access to the class definition, change the visibility of the method from private or protected to public. This can be done by modifying the method declaration in the class.
  CLASS my_class DEFINITION.
    PUBLIC SECTION.
      METHODS: my_method.
    PRIVATE SECTION.
      " Other methods
  ENDCLASS.
  
  Check Method Call: Ensure that you are calling the method from the correct context. If the method is part of a different class, make sure you are instantiating the class correctly and calling the method on the instance.
  Review Class Hierarchy: If the method is intended to be inherited, ensure that it is declared in the superclass as public.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace where the method is being called and verify that the call is valid.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for documentation on ABAP programming and method visibility.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if others have encountered similar issues and how they resolved them.
  Code Review: Conduct a code review to ensure that the method is being used correctly and that all access modifiers are appropriately set.
  
  If you are not the developer of the method, you may need to contact the developer or the team responsible for the code to address the visibility issue.
