• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P0785 - Routine & does not finish with an ENDFORM statement ?

  The SAP error message "P0785 Routine & does not finish with an ENDFORM statement" typically indicates that there is an issue in an ABAP program where a FORM routine is defined but does not have a corresponding ENDFORM statement. This is a syntax error in ABAP programming.
  Cause:
  
  Missing ENDFORM Statement: The most common cause is that the programmer has defined a FORM routine but forgot to include the ENDFORM statement at the end of the routine.
  Commented Out ENDFORM: The ENDFORM statement might be commented out, which would lead to the same error.
  Conditional Logic: If the ENDFORM statement is placed inside a conditional block that does not always execute, it may lead to this error if the condition is not met.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the FORM Routine: Open the ABAP program where the error is occurring and locate the FORM routine mentioned in the error message.
  Add ENDFORM: Ensure that there is an ENDFORM statement at the end of the FORM routine. The structure should look like this:
  FORM routine_name.
      " Your code here
  ENDFORM.
  
  Review Conditional Logic: If the ENDFORM statement is conditionally executed, ensure that it is placed outside of any conditional blocks so that it always executes.
