Categories of ABAP Runtime Errors

An ABAP program can be terminated during its runtime for a number of different reasons. The database table
SNAPTID lists all potential runtime errors (in total, around 1900).

To allow clearer processing, the runtime errors are divided into categories. The category of the runtime error
provides hints on the cause of the error and troubleshooting.
Error in ABAP Kernel.
Recommendation
Internal Kernel Error

Sending an error message to SAP.

When doing this, use the application component displayed in the
header of the long text (if displayed).
Programming errors specific to the program type.

ABAP programming errors

Dynpro programming errors
Simple transformation programming
errors
XSLT programming errors
ITS programming errors

Example: Division by zero or a catchable exception in an ABAP

program that is not caught.
Recommendation
If you are dealing with a non-modified SAP application, send an error
message to SAP.
When doing this, use the application component displayed in the
header of the long text (if displayed).
These include, for example, inconsistencies between the kernel and
the database.

Installation and administration errors on A typical installation error is the error START_CALL_SICK.
your ABAP server
Recommendation
This is most probably a local problem in your ABAP system.
Example: SYSTEM_NO_ROLL: The application does not have enough
memory available.
Resource bottleneck on your ABAP
server

Recommendation
This is most probably a local problem in your ABAP system.
The problem is only temporary.

Temporary problem in your ABAP

runtime environment

Recommendation
This is most probably a local problem in your ABAP system.

The program was not terminated due to an error, but rather due to
deliberately performed actions.
No error
Example: If an administrator cancels a running transaction, the
runtime error SYSTEM_CANCELED is thrown.
