• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP018 - Changes not yet commited ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP018: Changes not yet committed typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when working with Core Data Services (CDS) views or when there are uncommitted changes in a database transaction. This error indicates that there are changes in the database that have not been committed, which can lead to inconsistencies or issues when trying to read or manipulate data.
  Cause:
  
  Uncommitted Database Changes: The most common cause of this error is that there are changes made to the database (like inserts, updates, or deletes) that have not been committed. This can happen if a transaction is still open and the changes are pending.
  Transaction Management: If you are using explicit transaction management (e.g., using COMMIT WORK and ROLLBACK WORK), and you forget to commit the changes, this error can occur.
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple sessions or transactions are trying to access the same data, and one of them has uncommitted changes, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Commit Changes: Ensure that you commit any changes made to the database before trying to read or manipulate data. You can do this by using the COMMIT WORK statement in your ABAP code.
  COMMIT WORK.
  
  Check Transaction Logic: Review your transaction logic to ensure that all necessary commits are in place and that you are not leaving transactions open unintentionally.
  Error Handling: Implement proper error handling in your code to manage situations where a transaction might fail, ensuring that you either commit or rollback as necessary.
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the uncommitted changes are coming from, use debugging tools to trace the execution of your code and identify where the transaction is being left open.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Transaction Management: Understanding how transaction management works in ABAP is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the concepts of COMMIT WORK, ROLLBACK WORK, and how they affect database operations.
  CDS Views: If you are working with CDS views, ensure that the underlying data sources are properly managed and that any changes to the data are committed before accessing the views.
