• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OO786 - Exception object was not caught ?

  The SAP error message "OO786 Exception object was not caught" typically indicates that an exception was raised in the ABAP program but was not handled properly. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when an object-oriented programming (OOP) exception is thrown, and there is no corresponding exception handling mechanism in place to catch it.
  Cause:
  
  Uncaught Exception: The primary cause of this error is that an exception was raised in the program, but there was no CATCH block to handle it.
  Incorrect Exception Handling: The exception might be defined, but the handling logic may not be implemented correctly.
  Program Logic Errors: There may be logical errors in the program that lead to unexpected exceptions being raised.
  Missing Exception Class: The exception class that is supposed to be caught may not be defined or may not be accessible in the current context.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Implement Exception Handling: Ensure that you have a proper TRY...ENDTRY block in your ABAP code to catch exceptions. For example:
  TRY.
      " Your code that may raise an exception
  CATCH cx_your_exception INTO DATA(lv_exception).
      " Handle the exception
  ENDTRY.
  
  
  Check Exception Classes: Verify that the exception class you are trying to catch is correctly defined and accessible in your program.
  
  
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to trace the execution of your program and identify where the exception is being raised. This can help you understand the context and the specific conditions that lead to the exception.
  
  
  Review Program Logic: Check the logic of your program to ensure that it is robust and that all possible exceptions are accounted for.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific exception class you are dealing with to understand its purpose and how it should be handled.
