SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SY - ABAP/4 system messages

• Message number: 497

• Message text: Breakpoints can cause problems - &1 is included multiple times

What causes this issue?

The include &V1& has been included several times in the main program
&V2&. For this reason, errors may occur when you set dynamic breakpoints
(in the debugger and Editor). In some circumstances, execution may not
stop at these breakpoints.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

As a workaround, you can use BREAK-POINT statements in the include, or,
if necessary, use other breakpoint type (such as <LS>Breakpoint at
Statement</>).
