    The SAP error message SWY_TASK_FORM006, which states "ABAP source code of program &1 cannot be saved," typically occurs when there are issues related to the transport system, authorization, or the state of the ABAP program you are trying to save. Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:

    Causes:

    1. Transport Request Issues: The program may be part of a transport request that is not released or is in a locked state.
    2. Authorization Problems: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to modify or save the ABAP program.
    3. Program Status: The program might be in a state that does not allow changes, such as being in a "locked" state or being part of a transport that is currently being processed.
    4. Development Class Issues: The program may belong to a development class that has restrictions on saving changes.
    5. System Lock: The system might be experiencing a lock due to another user or process.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Transport Request:

      • Ensure that the transport request associated with the program is released. You can check this in the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10).
      • If the request is locked, you may need to unlock it or ask your transport administrator for assistance.
    2. Verify Authorizations:

      • Check if your user has the necessary authorizations to modify the program. You can do this by reviewing your user roles and authorizations in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
    3. Program Status:

      • Check the status of the program in transaction SE80 or SE38. If it is locked, you may need to unlock it or wait until the lock is released.
      • If the program is in a transport request, ensure that it is not being edited by another user.
    4. Development Class:

      • If the program is part of a development class, check the settings of the development class in transaction SE80. Ensure that it allows changes and is not set to "modification not allowed."
    5. System Lock:

      • If you suspect a system lock, you can check for locks using transaction SM12. If you find locks related to your program, you may need to contact the user who holds the lock or the system administrator to resolve it.
