  Error Message
  WD284 No subsequent function found for selected event
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in the Web Dynpro ABAP environment when an event is triggered, but the Web Dynpro application cannot find a corresponding subsequent function (i.e., an event handler or action method) to process that event.
  In Web Dynpro, UI elements (like buttons, links, etc.) trigger events. These events must be linked to event handler methods in the component or controller. If the event is fired but no handler is assigned or the handler is not implemented, the runtime raises this error.
  Common causes include:
  
  The event is declared in the interface but no handler method is assigned.
  The event handler method exists but is not properly linked in the Web Dynpro component/controller.
  The event handler method is missing or incorrectly named.
  The event is triggered programmatically but no subsequent function is defined.
  The component or view configuration is incomplete or inconsistent.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Event Declaration:
  
  Open the Web Dynpro component or view where the event is declared.
  Verify that the event is properly declared in the interface or context.
  
  
  
  Assign Event Handler:
  
  In the Web Dynpro component or view controller, ensure that the event is assigned to a handler method.
  Go to the Event tab of the UI element that triggers the event.
  Check if the event is linked to a method in the controller.
  
  
  
  Implement Event Handler Method:
  
  Verify that the event handler method exists in the controller or component controller.
  Implement the method if missing.
  The method signature should match the expected parameters.
  
  
  
  Check Naming and Binding:
  
  Ensure the method name matches exactly with the one assigned in the event handler.
  Check for typos or case sensitivity issues.
  
  
  
  Rebuild and Activate:
  
  After making changes, activate the Web Dynpro component and all related objects.
  Test the application again.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use the Web Dynpro debugger to trace the event flow.
  Confirm that the event is triggered and the handler is called.
