  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Include: The most common cause is that the specified include file (denoted by &1) is missing from the system. This could happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The include was not created or was deleted.
  The include is part of a transport request that has not been imported into the system.
  There is a typo or incorrect reference in the code that is trying to access the include.
  
  
  
  Development Environment Issues: If you are working in a development environment, it is possible that the include was not properly generated or activated.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the system is part of a landscape with multiple environments (e.g., Development, Quality Assurance, Production), the include might exist in one environment but not in another.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Existence: Verify if the include file exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38 or SE80) and checking if the include is present.

  Creating a new include file with the same name.
  Copying the necessary code from another environment if applicable.
  
  
  
  Transport the Include: If the include exists in another environment (like Development), ensure that it is included in a transport request and that the transport has been successfully imported into the target environment.
