How To Fix TPDA496 - END-OF-EVENT reached (positioning on last line of event)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TPDA - Debugger

• Message number: 496

• Message text: END-OF-EVENT reached (positioning on last line of event)

What causes this issue?

The end of an ABAP processing block has been reached.
In many cases, this is linked to an explicit language element, such as
for methods, functions, and forms ( ENDMETHOD, ENDFUNCTION, ENDFORM ).
However, in some cases there is no explicit language element, which the
end of a processing block displays in the source, such as for START-
OF-SELECTION. In this case, the debugger changes the color of the
"Current Program Line" to red, and sets this to the last program line of
the affected processing block, then this message appears.
This is not an error description, it is intended to help you as part of
the program analysis while debugging.

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