• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAO_DY_CUST044 - Method &1 does not have a returning parameter ?

  The SAP error message HRPAO_DY_CUST044 indicates that a method you are trying to call does not have a returning parameter defined. This typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when working with classes and methods in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are attempting to call a method that is expected to return a value, but the method definition does not include a returning parameter.
  The method is defined in a way that it performs an action but does not return any data back to the caller.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Method Definition:
  
  Go to the class definition where the method is implemented.
  Verify if the method is defined with a returning parameter. If it is not, you need to either modify the method to include a returning parameter or adjust your call to the method accordingly.
  
  
  
  Modify the Method:
  
  If you have access to modify the method, you can add a returning parameter to the method definition. For example:
  METHOD your_method_name
    RETURNING VALUE(result) TYPE your_return_type.
  
  
  
  
  Adjust the Method Call:
  
  If the method is not supposed to return a value, ensure that you are not trying to capture a return value when calling the method. For example, change:
  DATA(result) = your_object->your_method_name( ).
  to:
  your_object->your_method_name( ).
  
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are using standard SAP methods, refer to the SAP documentation or the method's documentation to understand its intended use and whether it should return a value.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  If this is a standard SAP method, ensure that your system is up to date with the latest support packages or notes, as there may be fixes or changes related to the method in question.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Documentation: Familiarize yourself with ABAP method definitions and how to properly define and call methods.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific method or class you are working with.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and understand the flow, which can help identify where the issue is occurring.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the HRPAO_DY_CUST044 error and ensure that your method calls are correctly aligned with the method definitions.
