  Cause:
  
  Empty Value: The most common cause is that the program or transaction is attempting to set a parameter ID with an empty string or null value.
  Incorrect Logic: There may be a logical error in the code where the value intended to be assigned to the parameter ID is not being populated correctly.

  Check the Code: Review the code where the SET PARAMETER ID statement is used. Ensure that the value being assigned is not empty. You can add checks to ensure that the value is valid before attempting to set it.
  IF NOT value IS INITIAL.

  User Input Validation: If the value is coming from user input, ensure that there is proper validation in place to check that the input is not empty before proceeding to set the parameter ID.
  
  
  Default Values: If applicable, consider setting a default value for the parameter ID in case the intended value is empty.
  
  
  Related Information:
