• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_BASIS_UTILITIES003 - SET_BEHAVIOUR has been called before - a 2nd call is not allowed! ?

  The SAP error message CNV_BASIS_UTILITIES003 indicates that the function SET_BEHAVIOUR has been called multiple times in a context where it is not allowed to be called more than once. This is typically related to the execution of a conversion or migration program in SAP, particularly in the context of data migration or system conversion.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Calls: The error occurs when the SET_BEHAVIOUR method is invoked more than once during the execution of a program or function module that is designed to be called only once.
  Program Logic: There may be a flaw in the program logic where the function is inadvertently called multiple times due to loops or incorrect flow control.
  State Management: The state of the program may not be managed correctly, leading to attempts to set behavior after it has already been set.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Code: Check the code where SET_BEHAVIOUR is called. Ensure that it is only called once during the execution of the program. You may need to implement checks to prevent multiple invocations.
  Debugging: Use the debugger to trace the execution flow and identify where the second call is being made. This will help you understand the context in which the error occurs.
  Refactor Logic: If the logic requires the behavior to be set based on certain conditions, refactor the code to ensure that SET_BEHAVIOUR is only called when necessary and not more than once.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific function or program you are working with. There may be specific guidelines or best practices for using SET_BEHAVIOUR.
