    The method called may have been canceled (ABAP runtime error) or be in
    an endless loop.
    Check this using the <DS:TRAN.ST22>dump analysis</> or the
    <DS:TRAN.SM50>process overview</>.
    If the basic single-step task already has a terminating event, it may
    be that this event either was not created or was not received by the
    work item.
    In this case, check the event trace, the RFC queue and the workflow
    log.
    More information can be obtained via <DS:TRAN.SWUD>diagnosis</>.

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