• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RFAC_QUICKFIX138 - Create local class '&1' ?

  The SAP error message RFAC_QUICKFIX138, which states "Create local class '&1'", typically occurs when there is an attempt to use a local class in an ABAP program that has not been defined or created yet. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to implement a method or use a class that is expected to be defined locally within the program.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Local Class Definition: The local class that is being referenced in the code has not been created or defined in the program.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the class name, leading to the system not being able to find the class.
  Scope Issues: The class might be defined in a different scope or context that is not accessible from the current program.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create the Local Class:
  
  
  Go to the ABAP editor (transaction SE38 or SE80).
  
  
  Open the program where the error is occurring.
  
  
  Define the local class by using the CLASS keyword. For example:
  CLASS my_local_class DEFINITION.
    PUBLIC SECTION.
      METHODS: my_method.
  ENDCLASS.
  
  CLASS my_local_class IMPLEMENTATION.
    METHOD my_method.
      " Method implementation
    ENDMETHOD.
  ENDCLASS.
  
  
  Make sure to replace my_local_class with the actual class name that is indicated in the error message.
  
  
  
  
  Check for Typos: Review the code for any typographical errors in the class name. Ensure that the name matches exactly with the defined class.
  
  
  Check Scope: If the class is defined in a different program or context, ensure that it is accessible from the current program. You may need to adjust the visibility or include the necessary references.
  
  
  Activate the Program: After making changes, ensure that you activate the program to reflect the changes made.
  
  
  Related Information:
