OO174 - Details

• The SAP error message OO174 indicates that you are trying to use the prefixes 'SET' and 'GET' in the names of methods within a persistent class in ABAP Object-Oriented programming. This is not allowed because these prefixes are reserved for standard getter and setter methods in ABAP.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you define methods in a persistent class (a class that is intended to be stored in the database) with names that start with 'SET' or 'GET'. The ABAP runtime environment expects these prefixes to be used for standard access methods, and using them in other contexts can lead to confusion and conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should rename the methods in your persistent class to avoid using the 'SET' and 'GET' prefixes. Here are some steps you can follow:
  
  
  Identify the Methods: Locate all methods in your persistent class that start with 'SET' or 'GET'.
  
  
  Rename the Methods: Change the method names
