• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPBSUSPA01012 - & is an interface. Only global classes are allowed. ?

  The SAP error message HRPBSUSPA01012 typically indicates that there is an issue with the use of classes in the context of an interface. This error arises when a non-global class is being used in a situation where only global classes are permitted. 
  Cause:
  
  Non-Global Class Usage: The error occurs when a class that is defined as local (i.e., not global) is being referenced in an interface or in a context where only global classes are allowed.
  Incorrect Class Definition: The class might not be defined correctly in the ABAP Dictionary, or it might be defined in a package that is not accessible in the current context.
  Scope Issues: The scope of the class might not be appropriate for the interface being implemented or used.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change Class Definition: Ensure that the class being used is defined as a global class. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the ABAP Workbench (SE80).
  Finding the class in question.
  Checking its properties and ensuring it is marked as a global class.
  
  
  
  Create a Global Class: If the class is not global, you may need to create a new global class that encapsulates the required functionality and can be used in the interface.
  
  
  Check Package Accessibility: Ensure that the package in which the class is defined is accessible from the context where the interface is being used. If necessary, move the class to a different package that is accessible.
  
  
  Review Interface Implementation: If you are implementing an interface, ensure that all classes used in the implementation are global and properly defined.
  
  
  Code Review: Review the code where the error is occurring to ensure that you are not inadvertently referencing a local class.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Global vs. Local Classes: In ABAP, global classes are accessible from any program or class within the same package or from other packages, while local classes are restricted to the program or class in which they are defined.
  ABAP Workbench (SE80): This is the primary tool for managing ABAP objects, including classes and interfaces.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for more details on class definitions and interface implementations.
