• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WER169 - Class &1 does not have any public static methods ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WER169 Class &1 does not have any public static methods
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to call a public static method of a class, but the specified class does not contain any public static methods. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the actual class name at runtime.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  The class exists but only has instance methods (non-static).
  The class is empty or does not have any methods defined as public static.
  A typo or incorrect class name is passed to a function or method call.
  The class is intended to be used differently (e.g., as an instance class rather than static utility class).
  
  
  Explanation:
  In ABAP, static methods are called on the class itself without creating an instance. If a program or function module expects to call a static method but the class does not have any, this error is raised.
  Example:
  CALL METHOD cl_example=>some_method.
  If cl_example does not have a some_method defined as public
