• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ210 - Include & is not an independent program ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZ210 Include & is not an independent program
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when an include program (a piece of code meant to be included in other programs) is being processed or executed as if it were an independent executable program. In SAP, includes are not standalone programs; they are fragments of code that must be called or included within a main program or function module.
  The system detects that the include is being treated as an independent program, which is not allowed, and raises this warning/error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Include programs are used to modularize code and are typically inserted into other programs using the INCLUDE statement.
  They do not have their own executable context.
  Trying to run or activate an include as a standalone program causes this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check how the include is being used:
  
  Ensure that the include is only referenced via INCLUDE statements inside other programs.
  Do not try to execute or activate the include directly.
  
  
  
  If you want to test the code inside the include:
  
  Create a main program that includes this include.
  Run or test the main program instead.
  
  
  
  Check program attributes:
  
  Make sure the include is defined as an include program (type 'I') and not as a report or module pool.
  
  
  
  If the include was mistakenly created as a report or executable:
  
  Change its type to an include program.
  Or move the code to a proper include object.

  Include programs are identified by program type 'I' in SAP.
  This error is a warning (WZ), indicating a misuse rather than a system failure.
  Similar errors occur if you try to execute function groups or subroutines independently.
