Issue with incomplete method deletion

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am having an issue with my class. I had created a new method, then deleted it (and I thought all references to it). Upon activation, the method was still listed - but would not activate. When I was ready to transport, I chose 'activate anyway'. Well, now that I've activated, every time any method in my class is called, the program dumps. When I do a find, there is a reference to the deleted method. It's showing as line 1....but iI can't navigate there - I get message that the method does not exist.

Seems like I'm caught in a catch 22....any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Lisa

Hello Lisa

I would try to outwit the SAP system by simply adding the deleted method again but without any coding.

For safety reasons I would add the entire class as transport object to your transport request (simply add R3TR CLAS <name of your class>).

Release the request and transport it through your system landscape.

The next time you have to change your class delete the obsolete method again.

Hi Lisa,

Have a look at Utilities->Clean Up under SE24.

Thanks for all the help. I re-added the method, and activated. Things seem to be working in DEV system. (I've added entire class to my new transport request.)
