How To Fix OO_SOURCE_BASED032 - The class implementation cannot be uniquely determined

OO_SOURCE_BASED032 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: OO_SOURCE_BASED - WB - Class Builder - Messages for the source-b. Class Editor

• Message number: 032

• Message text: The class implementation cannot be uniquely determined

What causes this issue?

The class can't be separated into its different source parts (public-,
protected-, (package-,) private section or method implementation).

System Response

A warning will be sent and the changes won't be stored.

How to fix this error?

Please check whether the source contains the following statements:
<EX>CLASS <class_name> DEFINITION.</>
<EX>...</>
<EX>ENDCLASS.</>

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

<EX>CLASS <class_name> IMPLEMENTATION.</>
<EX> METHOD <method_name_1>.</>
<EX> ...</>
<EX> ENDMETHOD.</>
<EX> ...</>
<EX> METHOD <method_name_n>.</>
<EX> ...</>
<EX> ENDMETHOD.</>
<EX>ENDCLASS.</>
<EX>It is also important to check that the public-, protected-,
(package-) and private section are in the correct order.</>
<EX>The syntax check will help you to determine where the class
structure is insufficient.</>

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OO_SOURCE_BASED032 - The class implementation cannot be uniquely determined ?

  The SAP error message OO_SOURCE_BASED032, which states "The class implementation cannot be uniquely determined," typically occurs in the context of Object-Oriented programming in ABAP when the system is unable to resolve which implementation of a method or function to use. This can happen for several reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Multiple Implementations: There are multiple classes that implement the same interface or inherit from the same superclass, and the system cannot determine which one to use.
  Ambiguous Method Calls: If a method is called on an object that could belong to multiple classes, and those classes have different implementations of that method, the system may not know which implementation to execute.
  Incorrect Class Hierarchy: The class hierarchy may not be set up correctly, leading to ambiguity in method resolution.
  Missing or Incorrect Type Definitions: If the type of an object is not clearly defined or is ambiguous, it can lead to this error.
