  The SAP error message OO280 indicates that there is an issue with an event in the Object-Oriented (OO) programming context, specifically related to the visibility of the event. The message states that the event does not have exposure set to PUBLIC, which means that the event cannot be accessed from outside the class where it is defined.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An event is defined in a class but is not declared with the visibility modifier PUBLIC.
  An attempt is made to trigger or subscribe to this event from outside the class, which is not allowed if the event is not publicly accessible.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to change the visibility of the event to PUBLIC. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  Open the Class Definition: Go to the class where the event is defined.
  Modify the Event Declaration: Locate the event declaration in the class and ensure it is declared as PUBLIC. For example:
  CLASS my_class DEFINITION.
    PUBLIC SECTION.
      EVENTS my_event.
    PRIVATE SECTION.
      " Other members
  ENDCLASS.
  
  Save and Activate: After making the changes, save and activate the class.

  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation on Object-Oriented Programming in ABAP for more details on events and their visibility.
  
  By ensuring that the event is declared as PUBLIC, you should be able to resolve the OO280 error and allow external access to the event as intended.
