• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TN_PROCESS000 - Method &1 of abstract class &2 must be redefined ?

  The SAP error message TN_PROCESS000 indicates that a method in an abstract class has not been implemented in a subclass. In object-oriented programming, an abstract class can define methods that must be implemented by any concrete subclass. If a subclass does not provide an implementation for an abstract method, this error will occur.
  Cause:
  
  Abstract Class Definition: The abstract class defines a method that is expected to be overridden in subclasses.
  Missing Implementation: The subclass that is being instantiated or used has not provided an implementation for the required abstract method.
  Incorrect Class Usage: The system is trying to use a subclass that is not fully implemented.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Implement the Method: Go to the subclass that is causing the error and implement the required method. You can find the method signature in the abstract class definition.
  
  Use transaction SE80 or SE24 to navigate to the class and implement the method.
  
  
  
  Check Class Hierarchy: Ensure that you are using the correct subclass that is intended to implement the abstract methods.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Check the documentation for the abstract class to understand what the method is supposed to do and how it should be implemented.
  
  
  Testing: After implementing the method, test the functionality to ensure that the error is resolved and that the method behaves as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Abstract Classes: In SAP ABAP, abstract classes are used to define a common interface for a group of related classes. They cannot be instantiated directly.
  Method Overriding: When a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass (or abstract class), it is called method overriding.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE24 (Class Builder) to navigate and modify class definitions.
  
  Example:
  If you have an abstract class CL_MY_ABSTRACT_CLASS with an abstract method METHOD_A, and you have a subclass CL_MY_SUBCLASS, you need to ensure that CL_MY_SUBCLASS has an implementation for METHOD_A.
  CLASS cl_my_subclass DEFINITION INHERITING FROM cl_my_abstract_class
    FINAL
    CREATE PUBLIC.
  
    PUBLIC SECTION.
      INTERFACES if_my_interface.
    PROTECTED SECTION.
    PRIVATE SECTION.
  ENDCLASS.
  
  CLASS cl_my_subclass IMPLEMENTATION.
    METHOD if_my_interface~method_a.
      " Implementation of the method
    ENDMETHOD.
  ENDCLASS.
  In this example, if METHOD_A is not implemented in CL_MY_SUBCLASS, you would encounter the TN_PROCESS000 error. Implementing the method as shown would resolve the issue.
