  The SAP error message SWDP_CCP_WD021, which states "Entry '&1' already exists; it cannot be added," typically occurs in the context of Web Dynpro applications when there is an attempt to add an entry to a collection or a data structure that already contains an entry with the same key or identifier.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the application is trying to add a duplicate entry to a collection (like an internal table or a context node) that does not allow duplicates.
  Incorrect Logic: There may be a logical error in the code where the application does not check if the entry already exists before attempting to add it.
  Data Consistency Issues: The data being processed may not be consistent, leading to attempts to add entries that are already present.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Duplicates: Before adding an entry to the collection, implement a check to see if the entry already exists. This can be done using a loop or a method that checks for the presence of the entry.
  LOOP AT collection INTO DATA(entry).
    IF entry-key = new-entry-key.
      " Entry already exists, handle accordingly
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.
  
  Modify Logic: Review the logic of your application to ensure that it correctly handles scenarios where an entry might already exist. This may involve adjusting the flow of your application or adding conditions to prevent duplicate additions.
  Error Handling: Implement proper error handling to manage situations where a duplicate entry is attempted to be added. This could involve displaying a user-friendly message or logging the error for further analysis.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution of your application and identify where the duplicate entry is being introduced. This can help you pinpoint the exact location in the code that needs to be modified.
