• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OO_SOURCE_BASED103 - Modification Assistant can not be used by the source-based Class Builder. ?

  The SAP error message "OO_SOURCE_BASED103: Modification Assistant can not be used by the source-based Class Builder" typically occurs when you are trying to use the Modification Assistant in a context where it is not applicable, particularly when working with source-based class definitions in ABAP Object-Oriented programming.
  
  Cause:
  
  Source-Based Class Builder: The error indicates that you are attempting to use the Modification Assistant with a source-based class. The Modification Assistant is designed for use with the graphical class builder (Class Builder transaction SE24) and not with source-based classes (which are defined in the ABAP Editor).
  Incompatibility: The Modification Assistant is not compatible with certain types of class definitions, particularly those that are defined directly in the source code rather than through the Class Builder interface.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Class Builder: If you need to modify a class, ensure that you are using the Class Builder (transaction SE24) instead of editing the class directly in the ABAP Editor
