• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ED084 - & line(s) commented out ?

  The SAP error message ED084 typically relates to issues in the context of the SAP ABAP programming environment, particularly when dealing with the generation of function modules or when there are inconsistencies in the data dictionary. The error message can indicate that there are problems with the data elements, domains, or structures that are being used in the program or function module.
  Cause of ED084
  
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary Objects: The error may arise if there are inconsistencies in the data dictionary objects, such as data elements or domains that are not properly defined or activated.
  Commented Out Lines: If there are lines of code that are commented out, it may lead to incomplete definitions or missing references that the system expects to be present.
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the ABAP code that prevent the program from being compiled correctly.
  Missing or Incorrect References: If the program references objects that do not exist or are incorrectly defined, this can trigger the error.
  
  Solution
  
  Check Data Dictionary Objects: Ensure that all data elements, domains, and structures used in the program are correctly defined and activated. You can do this by navigating to the Data Dictionary (SE11) and checking the relevant objects.
  Review Commented Lines: If there are lines of code that are commented out, review them to see if they are necessary for the program's logic. Uncomment them if they are required for the program to function correctly.
  Syntax Check: Perform a syntax check on the ABAP program (using the 'Check' button in the ABAP editor) to identify any syntax errors that need to be resolved.
  Activate Objects: If you have made changes to any data dictionary objects, ensure that you activate them. This can often resolve inconsistencies that lead to the ED084 error.
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider debugging the program to identify the exact point of failure and gather more context about the error.
