• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD367 - Exception '&' is not used ?

  The SAP error message WD367 Exception '&' is not used typically occurs in the context of Web Dynpro ABAP development.
  
  Cause
  This error arises when the ampersand character & is used incorrectly in an exception handling statement or expression within Web Dynpro ABAP code. Specifically, the error indicates that the exception operator & is expected but not found or used properly in the context where it is required.
  In Web Dynpro ABAP, the & character is used in exception handling to chain exceptions or to specify multiple exceptions in a TRY...CATCH block or similar constructs. If the syntax is incorrect or the & is missing where it should be, the system raises this error.
  
  Typical Scenario
  
  You have a TRY...CATCH block in your Web Dynpro ABAP code.
  You want to catch multiple exceptions in one CATCH statement.
  The syntax requires the exceptions to be separated by &.
  If you omit the & or use it incorrectly, the error WD367 is triggered.
  
  Example of incorrect usage:
  TRY.
    " Some code
  CATCH cx_root cx_sy_arithmetic_error.
    " Error: WD367 Exception '&' is not used
  ENDTRY.
  Correct usage:
  TRY.
    " Some code
  CATCH cx_root & cx_sy_arithmetic_error.
    " Handle exceptions
  ENDTRY.
  
  Solution
  
  Review your TRY...CATCH blocks or any exception handling code in your Web Dynpro ABAP components.
  Ensure that when catching multiple exceptions in a single CATCH statement, the exceptions are separated by the & character.
  Correct the syntax by adding the missing & between exception classes.
