• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OO094 - Method &1 was redefined ?

  The SAP error message OO094 ("Method &1 was redefined") typically occurs in the context of Object-Oriented ABAP programming. This message indicates that a method in a class has been redefined in a subclass, but there may be issues related to the redefinition that need to be addressed.
  Cause:
  
  Method Redefinition: The error usually arises when a method in a subclass is defined with the same name as a method in its superclass, but there are inconsistencies in the method signature (parameters, return type, etc.).
  Visibility Issues: The visibility (public, protected, private) of the method in the subclass may not match the visibility in the superclass.
  Inconsistent Method Signature: The parameters or return types of the redefined method do not match those of the original method in the superclass.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Method Signature: Ensure that the method signature (name, parameters, and return type) in the subclass exactly matches that of the superclass. If there are differences, correct them.
  Visibility Consistency: Make sure that the visibility of the method in the subclass matches that of the superclass. If the superclass method is public, the subclass method should also be public.
  Use of REDEFINITION Keyword: If you intend to redefine a method, ensure that you are using the REDEFINITION keyword correctly in the subclass.
  Check for Abstract Methods: If the superclass method is abstract, ensure that the subclass implements it correctly.
  Review Inheritance Structure: If there are multiple levels of inheritance, ensure that the method is correctly defined at each level.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on Object-Oriented ABAP and method redefinition.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the redefinition is causing issues.
  Code Review: Conduct a code review to ensure that the class design adheres to best practices in object-oriented programming.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the OO094 error and ensure that your method redefinitions are correctly implemented.
