• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG014 - Only one definition allowed per DDIC source code ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG014 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a Data Dictionary (DDIC) object in your ABAP code. Specifically, it means that there is more than one definition for a particular DDIC source code, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You have multiple definitions of the same DDIC object (like a table, view, or data element) in your ABAP program or include.
  There might be conflicting definitions in different includes or in the same program.
  The code might be trying to redefine a DDIC object that has already been defined elsewhere.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Duplicate Definitions:
  
  Review your ABAP code to ensure that you do not have multiple definitions of the same DDIC object. Look for any includes or other programs that might be defining the same object.
  
  
  
  Remove Redundant Code:
  
  If you find duplicate definitions, remove the redundant ones. Ensure that each DDIC object is defined only once.
  
  
  
  Use Includes Wisely:
  
  If you are using includes, make sure that the same include is not being included multiple times in a way that causes the same definitions to be processed more than once.
  
  
  
  Check for Syntax Errors:
  
  Sometimes, syntax errors can lead to misinterpretation of the code. Ensure that your code is syntactically correct.
  
  
  
  Activate All Objects:
  
  After making changes, ensure that you activate all related objects (like includes, function modules, etc.) to reflect the changes.
  
  
  
  Use the ABAP Editor:
  
  Utilize the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38 or SE80) to check for any warnings or errors that might give you more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SE38 (ABAP Editor) to navigate and manage your DDIC objects.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for more details on Data Dictionary objects and their definitions.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
