• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EU253 - Include & already exists. Insert in program & anyway? ?

  The SAP error message EU253 ("Include & already exists. Insert in program & anyway?") typically occurs when you attempt to include a source code file (an "include") in an ABAP program, but the include file is already present in that program. This can happen during the development of ABAP programs when you try to add an include that has already been added.
  
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Include: The most common cause is that the include file you are trying to add is already included in the program.
  Development Environment: Sometimes, this can happen due to the development environment or tools that might not properly track existing includes.
  Manual Editing: If the program is being edited manually, it’s possible to accidentally try to add the same include multiple times.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Includes: Before adding an include, check the program to see if the include is already present. You can do this by looking at the program's source code.
