  The SAP error message DH005 indicates that there is a problem with a search help definition in the SAP system. Specifically, it suggests that a search help is included multiple times in a particular context, which can lead to confusion or conflicts in the way the search help is processed.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Inclusion: The error typically arises when a search help is included more than once in a search help exit or in a structure, leading to ambiguity in how the system should handle the search help.

  Solution:
  
  Check Search Help Definitions: Review the search help definitions in the SAP system. Look for any instances where the same search help is included multiple times.
  Remove Duplicates: If you find that the same search help is included more than once, remove the duplicate inclusion. Ensure that each search help is only included once in the relevant context.
  Adjust Search Help Exits: If you are using search help exits, check the logic in the exit to ensure that it is not inadvertently including the same search help multiple times.
  Test Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the search help functionality to ensure that the error is resolved and that the search help behaves as expected.
