• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FL205 - Save before activating ?

  The SAP error message FL205 "Save before activating" typically occurs when you attempt to activate an object (like a function module, class, or program) in the ABAP Workbench without first saving your changes. This is a common issue in the SAP development environment.
