• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWP096 - Error when re-entering an UNTIL loop ?

  The SAP error message SWP096 typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when dealing with loops and control structures. This error indicates that there is an issue with the structure of your loop, specifically when re-entering an UNTIL loop.
  Cause:
  The error SWP096 is generally caused by one of the following issues:
  
  Incorrect Loop Structure: The loop may not be properly defined, or there may be a logical error in the way the loop is constructed.
  Re-Entry of Loop: The error can occur if the loop is being re-entered without proper termination or if the conditions for the loop are not correctly set.
  Control Flow Issues: There may be issues with the control flow of the program, such as improper use of EXIT, CONTINUE, or other control statements that affect the loop's execution.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SWP096 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Loop Structure: Ensure that the UNTIL loop is correctly defined. The syntax should be as follows:
  LOOP AT <table> INTO <work_area>.
    ...
  ENDLOOP.
  If you are using an UNTIL condition, make sure it is correctly specified.
  
  
  Check Loop Conditions: Verify that the conditions for exiting the loop are correctly set. Ensure that the loop will eventually meet the exit condition to prevent infinite loops.
  
  
  Control Statements: Review any control statements within the loop. Ensure that you are not inadvertently causing the loop to re-enter without proper termination.
  
  
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and observe the flow of execution. This can help identify where the loop is being re-entered incorrectly.
  
  
  Code Review: If the loop is complex, consider refactoring the code for clarity. Simplifying the logic can help prevent errors and make it easier to identify issues.
