• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG014 - Error while executing method &1; method is not redefined ?

  The SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG014 indicates that there is an issue with executing a method in a class or interface because the method is not redefined. This typically occurs in the context of ABAP Object-Oriented Programming when a method is expected to be overridden in a subclass but is not.
  Cause:
  
  Method Not Redefined: The method that is being called is defined in a superclass or interface but has not been redefined in the subclass where the call is being made.
  Incorrect Class/Interface Implementation: The class or interface that is supposed to implement or extend the method may not be correctly set up.
  Typographical Errors: There may be a typo in the method name or signature, leading to the system not recognizing the method as redefined.
  Inheritance Issues: The class hierarchy may not be correctly established, leading to the method not being found in the expected subclass.
  
  Solution:
  
  Redefine the Method: Ensure that the method is properly redefined in the subclass. You can do this by using the REDEFINITION keyword in the subclass definition.
  CLASS subclass_name DEFINITION INHERITING FROM superclass_name.
    PUBLIC SECTION.
      METHODS: method_name REDEFINITION.
  ENDCLASS.
  
  Check Class Hierarchy: Verify that the class or interface hierarchy is correctly set up and that the subclass is indeed inheriting from the correct superclass or implementing the correct interface.
  Review Method Signature: Ensure that the method signature (parameters, return type) matches the original method in the superclass or interface.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution and identify where the method call is failing. This can help pinpoint if the method is being called on the correct object instance.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or the class/interface documentation to ensure that you are following the correct implementation guidelines.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Documentation: Review the ABAP documentation for object-oriented programming to understand how method overriding works.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific version of SAP you are using.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels for additional insights or similar issues faced by other developers.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the method is correctly redefined in your ABAP program.
