SY121
- More than & loop passes ?The SAP error message SY121 ("More than & loop passes") typically occurs during the execution of ABAP programs, particularly when there is an infinite loop or excessive looping in the code. This error is a safeguard mechanism to prevent the system from hanging indefinitely due to poorly written loops.
Cause: Infinite Loop: The most common cause is an infinite loop in the ABAP code where the exit condition is never met. Excessive Iterations: Even if the loop is not infinite, it may exceed the predefined limit of iterations set by the SAP system. Logical Errors: There may be logical errors in the code that lead to unexpected behavior, causing the loop to run more times than intended.
Solution: Review the Code: Check the loop structure in your ABAP code. Ensure that the loop has a valid exit condition that will eventually be met. Example of a typical loop structure:DATA: lv_counter TYPE i VALUE 0. WHILE lv_counter < 10.
