  The SAP error message CHK_ENH800 indicates that a composite enhancement implementation is attempting to reference itself, which is not allowed. This typically occurs in the context of enhancement implementations where a composite enhancement is defined to include other enhancements, but it inadvertently includes itself in the list.
  Cause:
