  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB777 - Values for user variable &1 not saved ?

    The SAP error message DB777, which states "Values for user variable &1 not saved," typically occurs in the context of database operations, particularly when dealing with user-defined variables in ABAP programs or database procedures. This error indicates that the system was unable to save the values for a specified user variable.

    Causes:

    1. Invalid User Variable: The user variable specified in the error message may not be defined correctly or may not exist in the context where it is being used.
    2. Database Locking Issues: There may be locks on the database that prevent the saving of the variable values.
