37076 - Details

• The SAP error message 37076, "Target block overlaps with loop lines," typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when dealing with control structures like loops and blocks. This error indicates that there is a conflict in the program's flow control, where the target block (such as a CASE or IF statement) overlaps with the lines of code that are part of a loop.
  
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following issues:
  
  Improper Nesting: The target block is incorrectly nested within a loop, leading to ambiguity in the flow of control.
  Overlapping Control Structures: The target block's end is not clearly defined, or it overlaps with the loop's boundaries, making it unclear where the loop ends and the target block begins.
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the code that lead to misinterpretation of the control structures.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Nesting: Ensure
