• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DGEXC111 - Selected exception is already being used; can be displayed only ?

  The SAP error message DGEXC111 indicates that the selected exception is already in use and can only be displayed, meaning that you cannot modify or delete it while it is still being referenced in the system. This typically occurs in the context of exception handling in SAP, particularly when dealing with exception classes or handling exceptions in ABAP programs.
  Cause:
  
  Exception Already in Use: The exception you are trying to modify or delete is currently being referenced in other parts of the program or in other programs.
  Program Logic: The program logic may be designed in such a way that certain exceptions are meant to be handled in a specific manner, preventing changes to them while they are active.
  Transaction State: The transaction or session you are working in may not allow changes to certain exceptions due to its current state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check References: Identify where the exception is being used in your code. You can do this by searching for the exception name in your ABAP code to see all instances where it is referenced.
  Modify Code: If you need to change the exception, ensure that it is not being used in any active transaction or program. You may need to refactor your code to remove the dependency on that exception.
  Use a Different Exception: If the exception is critical and cannot be modified, consider creating a new exception class or instance that can be used instead.
  Review Exception Handling Logic: Ensure that your exception handling logic is correctly implemented and that exceptions are only used when necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on exception handling and best practices.
