Diagnosis
A menu can contain references to other area menus, which - in turn - canreference yet again other area menus. If one of the referenced menuscontains a reference to the original menu, you will have recursion.
Through this endless referencing, the menu can be expanded endlessly.The current area menu <(>&<)>V2& contains at least one recursion. Thisrecursion begins with the reference entry on area menu <(>&<)>V1&.

System Response
Recursions cannot be supported correctly and cause various errors.

• Opening a folder in an area menu can take a very long time.


• The function 'Search' in an area menu does not function correctly and
can even cause memory overflow.

• In the attempt to expand an area menu with the function 'Expand All",
not all the menu items are opened.

Procedure
The entries or paths that create endless structures can be deletedmanually.
To determine all the entries that create endless references<(>,<)> youcan use the check function in change mode of the area menu editor(Transaction SE43). Beforehand, the entire structure of the menu must beexpanded so that all the entries are visible and can be selected.
