• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HL230 - Exception override specified without a program ?

  The SAP error message HL230 ("Exception override specified without a program") typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming when an exception is raised in a function module or method, but the system cannot find the corresponding program or context to handle that exception. This can happen for several reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Missing Program Context: The exception handling is defined, but the program or function module that is supposed to handle the exception is not specified or is missing.
  Incorrect Exception Handling: The exception handling code may not be correctly implemented, leading to the system being unable to find the appropriate handler.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the function module or method that is raising the exception.
  Transport Issues: If the code was transported from one system to another, there might be inconsistencies or missing components in the target system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Exception Handling: Review the code where the exception is raised. Ensure that the exception handling is correctly defined and that the program or function module is specified.
  Define Exception Handling: If you are developing a function module or method, ensure that you have defined the exceptions properly in the interface and that they are being handled correctly in the calling program.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to trace the execution flow and identify where the exception is being raised and why the program context is not found.
  Review Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects were included and transported correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific function module or method to see if there are any known issues or additional configuration steps required.
