Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 00085 - COMMIT WORK during ON COMMIT or ON ROLLBACK ?

  The SAP error message "00085 COMMIT WORK during ON COMMIT or ON ROLLBACK" typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when dealing with database transactions. This error indicates that there is an attempt to execute a COMMIT WORK or ROLLBACK WORK statement within a ON COMMIT or ON ROLLBACK event block, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Improper Use of COMMIT WORK/ROLLBACK WORK: The error arises when a program tries to commit or rollback a transaction while already in the process of handling a commit or rollback event. This is not permitted because it can lead to inconsistent states in the database.
  Event Handling Logic: The error may also occur if the logic in the event handling (like in a dialog program or a report) is incorrectly structured, leading to nested commit or rollback calls.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Event Handling Logic: Check the code where the ON COMMIT or ON ROLLBACK events are defined. Ensure that you are not trying to call COMMIT WORK or ROLLBACK WORK within these event blocks.
  Refactor Code: If you need to perform a commit or rollback, do it outside of the event handling blocks. You can structure your code to handle the transaction logic before entering the event handling.
  Use Proper Transaction Management: Ensure that your transaction management is correctly implemented. Use COMMIT WORK and ROLLBACK WORK only in the main program logic, not in the event handlers.
  Debugging: If the error persists, use debugging tools to trace the execution flow and identify where the erroneous commit or rollback is being triggered.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Management in ABAP: Understanding how transactions work in ABAP is crucial. Transactions are typically managed using COMMIT WORK to save changes and ROLLBACK WORK to discard changes.
  Event Handling in ABAP: Familiarize yourself with how event handling works in ABAP programs, especially in dialog programs, to avoid such issues.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on transaction management and event handling in ABAP.
  
  By following these guidelines, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure proper transaction handling in your SAP ABAP programs.
