• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SEPMH_DG085 - Table Index Out of Range ?

  The SAP error message SEPMH_DG085 "Table Index Out of Range" typically occurs in the context of SAP applications, particularly when dealing with data structures or internal tables in ABAP programs. This error indicates that an attempt was made to access an index of a table that does not exist, which can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Invalid Index Access: The program is trying to access an index that is either negative or greater than the number of entries in the internal table.
  Empty Table: The internal table being accessed is empty, and the program is trying to access the first element (index 1).
  Looping Errors: Errors in loops where the index is not properly controlled can lead to out-of-range access.
  Data Manipulation: If the table is modified (e.g., entries deleted) while being accessed, it can lead to index errors.
  Incorrect Logic: Logical errors in the code that do not properly check the size of the table before accessing it.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Index Values: Ensure that any index used to access the table is within the valid range. Use conditions to check the size of the table before accessing it.
  IF index > 0 AND index <= lines(internal_table).
      " Access the table
  ELSE.
      " Handle the error
  ENDIF.
  
  
  Validate Table Size: Before accessing elements of the internal table, validate that it is not empty.
  IF lines(internal_table) > 0.
      " Safe to access the table
  ELSE.
      " Handle the empty table case
  ENDIF.
  
  
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and monitor the values of the index and the size of the internal table at runtime.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling to gracefully manage situations where an index might be out of range.
  
  
  Review Logic: Review the logic of loops and conditions that manipulate the internal table to ensure that they do not lead to out-of-range access.
