How To Fix 5P432 - & recursive call of schema & is not permitted

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 5P - Error Messages for Schema, Pers.Calc.Rule and Feature Checks

• Message number: 432

• Message text: & recursive call of schema & is not permitted

What causes this issue?

The COPY function allows you to integrate the subschema source code in
main schemas. You have tried to integrate subschema SUB1, which is
already integrated, and in turn integrates subschema SUB2. This would
lead to an infinite integration of COPY functions (recursive COPY
functions).
Example:
Schema MAIN: COPY SUB1
Schema SUB1: COPY SUB2
Schema SUB2: COPY SUB1

How to fix this error?

Check the COPY function in your (sub)schema (SUB2) and delete the
impermissible recursive call.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5P432 - & recursive call of schema & is not permitted ?

  The SAP error message 5P432 typically indicates that there is a recursive call in the schema definition, which is not permitted. This error can occur in various contexts, such as when working with ABAP programs, data dictionary objects, or when defining database views or structures.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a schema (like a database view or a structure) references itself directly or indirectly, leading to an infinite loop. This can happen if:
  
  A view is defined in such a way that it includes itself in its definition.
  A structure or table type references itself, either directly or through another structure that eventually leads back to it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to review the schema definition and ensure that there are no recursive references. Here are steps you can take:
  
  
  Check the Schema Definition: 
  
  Open the relevant database view, structure, or table type in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Look for any fields or components that reference the same schema or lead back to it through other schemas.
  
  
  
  Modify the Definition:
  
  If you find a recursive reference, modify the schema to eliminate the recursion. This may involve changing the structure of the view or the way fields are defined.
  Ensure that the schema only references other schemas that do not lead back to itself.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, activate the schema and test it to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the structure or how to modify it, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with ABAP Dictionary objects.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 for Data Dictionary, SE80 for Object Navigator, and SE37 for function modules if you are working with function calls.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
  Debugging: If the error occurs during runtime, consider using the ABAP debugger to trace the execution and identify where the recursive call is being made.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the 5P432 error in your SAP environment.
