• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SV066 - Select block end ?

  The SAP error message SV066 "Select block end" typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when there is an issue with the structure of a SELECT statement or when the SELECT block is not properly closed. This error can arise due to various reasons, such as syntax errors, missing ENDSELECT statements, or issues with the logic of the program.
  Causes:
  
  Missing ENDSELECT Statement: If you have an OPEN SELECT statement without a corresponding ENDSELECT, the system will throw this error.
  Incorrect Syntax: Errors in the syntax of the SELECT statement can lead to this error.
  Nested SELECT Statements: If you have nested SELECT statements, ensure that they are properly structured and closed.
  Improper Use of SELECT SINGLE: If you are using SELECT SINGLE, ensure that it is not being used in a context that requires a loop.
