The sy-subrc value provides additional context about the nature of the error. Here’s a breakdown of the potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Database Lock Issues: The transaction may be trying to commit changes to a database that is locked by another process.
  Data Integrity Violations: There may be constraints (like foreign key constraints) that are violated during the commit operation.
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the commit.
  Database Connection Issues: There could be issues with the database connection, such as network problems or database server downtime.
  Program Logic Errors: There may be bugs in the ABAP code that lead to unexpected states during the commit operation.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the database tables involved. If locks are found, you may need to wait for the locks to be released or resolve the locking issue.
  Review Constraints: Check the database constraints and ensure that the data being committed adheres to all integrity rules.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the commit operation. You can use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues.
  Database Connection: Ensure that the database is up and running and that there are no connectivity issues. You can check the database status and logs for any errors.
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider debugging the ABAP program to identify the exact point of failure. Use transaction SE80 or SE38 to analyze the code and check for logical errors.
  Check System Logs: Review the system logs (transaction SM21) for any related error messages that might provide more context about the issue.
