• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P0789 - Routine & contains one CENDIF statement too many ?

  The SAP error message "P0789 Routine & contains one CENDIF statement too many" typically occurs during the execution of ABAP programs or during the compilation of ABAP code. This error indicates that there is a mismatch in the control structures of the code, specifically with the IF and CENDIF statements.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by having an extra CENDIF statement in your code. In ABAP, every IF statement must have a corresponding ENDIF. If there are more CENDIF statements than IF statements, the compiler will raise this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Code: Go through the ABAP code where the error is reported. Look for the IF and CENDIF statements.
  
  
  Count the Statements: Ensure that each IF statement has a matching CENDIF. You can do this by counting the occurrences of each statement.
  
  
  Remove Extra CENDIF: If you find an extra CENDIF that does not correspond to an IF, remove it.
  
  
  Check Nested Structures: If you have nested IF statements, ensure that each nested IF has its own CENDIF and that they are correctly matched.
  
  
  Syntax Check: After making changes, perform a syntax check on the program to ensure that there are no further issues.
  
  
  Example:
  Here’s a simple example to illustrate the issue:
  IF condition1.
    " Some code
  ENDIF.
  IF condition2.
    " Some code
  ENDIF.
  CENDIF. " This will cause the error
  In the above example, the last CENDIF is unnecessary and should be removed.
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Syntax: Familiarize yourself with ABAP syntax rules regarding control structures. This will help prevent similar errors in the future.
  Debugging Tools: Use the ABAP debugger and syntax check tools available in the SAP environment to identify and fix issues in your code.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on control structures and error handling in ABAP.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your ABAP code compiles and runs correctly.
