• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OO195 - A public attribute type cannot be local to a class ?

  The SAP error message OO195, which states "A public attribute type cannot be local to a class," typically occurs in ABAP Object-Oriented programming when you attempt to declare a public attribute (or property) of a class with a type that is defined locally within that class. In ABAP, public attributes must be of a type that is globally accessible.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when you define a public attribute in a class with a type that is not visible outside the class. This usually happens when:
  
  You define a type (like a structure or a table type) within the class itself, and then you try to use that type for a public attribute.
  The type is local to the class and cannot be accessed from outside the class, which violates the rules of visibility for public attributes.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the type of the public attribute is globally accessible.
