  The SAP error message "S~118 Function & not defined" typically indicates that the system is trying to call a function module or method that has not been defined or is not available in the current context. This can occur for various reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Missing Function Module: The function module you are trying to call does not exist in the system.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the function name in the code.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the function module.
  Transport Issues: The function module may not have been transported correctly from the development environment to the production environment.
  Namespace Issues: The function might be in a different namespace that is not accessible in the current context.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Function Module Existence:
  
  Use transaction code SE37 (Function Builder) to check if the function module exists. If it does not, you may need to create it or correct the code that is calling it.

  If the function module was recently created or modified, ensure that it has been properly transported to the target system. You can check the transport logs for any issues.
  
  
  
  Namespace Verification:
  
  If the function module is part of a specific namespace, ensure that your program has access to that namespace. You may need to adjust the namespace settings or use the correct prefix.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
