• Message class: LA - ABAP Language Version: Object Restriction Check

• Message number: 024

• Message text: &1 &2 is deprecated. Use own type declaration or own object instead.

What causes this issue?

In <LB>ABAP for SAP Cloud Platform</>, use of other objects is
restricted to objects which
were released as API for <ZK>Use in SAP Cloud Platform</> or
are in the same software component as the edited object.

For further details, see
<DS:ABEN.ABAP_VERSIONS>ABAP Language Versions</>.

System Response

If the edited object uses a formerly released but now deprecated object,
this results in a syntax warning.

How to fix this error?

Replace the use of deprecated &V1& &V2& by a suitable own type
declaration or own object.
Wherever possible, best practice is replacement with a meaningful ABAP
type declaration using the TYPES statement, e.g. like shown below as
replacement for an ABAP dictionary structure for object data, consisting
of the two fields ID and DESCRIPTION:
<NP>TYPES ty_id TYPE c LENGTH 10.</>
<NP>TYPES:</>
<NP> BEGIN OF ty_s_object<(>,<)></>
<NP> id TYPE ty_id<(>,<)></>
<NP> description TYPE string<(>,<)></>
<NP> END OF ty_s_object.</>
<NP>DATA some_object TYPE ty_s_object.</>
If a simple data type is used only at a single location, direct
replacement in the DATA statement using a built-in ABAP type is the
first choice, e.g. like shown here as replacement for a data element of
type NUMC and length 4:
<NP>DATA some_variable TYPE n LENGTH 4.</>

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LA024 - &1 &2 is deprecated. Use own type declaration or own object instead. ?

  The SAP error message LA024 indicates that a certain type or object you are trying to use in your ABAP code is deprecated. This means that the type or object is no longer recommended for use and may be removed in future releases of SAP. The message typically includes placeholders &1 and &2, which will be replaced with the specific type or object name that is deprecated.
  Cause
  The cause of this error is that the code is using a type or object that SAP has marked as deprecated. This can happen for various reasons, such as:
  
  The type or object has been replaced by a newer, more efficient alternative.
  The type or object is no longer aligned with best practices or standards.
  The type or object may have limitations or issues that have been addressed in newer versions.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Identify the Deprecated Type/Object: Look at the error message to identify which type or object is deprecated. The placeholders &1 and &2 will provide you with the specific names.

  Use Own Type Declaration or Object: 
  
  If the deprecated type is a standard SAP type, consider creating your own type declaration that meets your needs. You can use the TYPES statement in ABAP to define your own types.
  If the deprecated object is a class or function module, look for the recommended alternative class or function module and update your code accordingly.
  
  
  
  Refactor Your Code: Replace instances of the deprecated type or object in your code with the new type or object you have identified. Ensure that you test your code thoroughly after making these changes to confirm that it behaves as expected.
