  Simplify Condition: If the condition is complex, try simplifying it to isolate the issue. Start with a basic condition and gradually add complexity.
  Debugging Tools: Use the debugging tools available in SAP to step through the code and monitor variable values to understand why the condition cannot be evaluated.
  Remove Breakpoint: If the condition is not critical, consider removing the breakpoint or setting a different one that does not rely on the problematic condition.
