  The SAP error message "12402 No text elements found in language &2 for program &1" typically indicates that the system is unable to find the text elements (such as messages or labels) for a specific program in the specified language. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when a program is executed, and the system tries to retrieve text elements that have not been defined for the specified language.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Text Elements: The text elements for the specified program in the specified language are not defined in the SAP system.
  Language Settings: The language settings in the user profile or the system configuration may not match the available text elements.
  Transport Issues: If the program was transported from one system to another, the text elements may not have been included in the transport request.
  Program Errors: There may be an issue in the program code that is causing it to look for text elements that do not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Text Elements:
  
  Go to the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE80) and check the program for text elements.
  Ensure that the text elements are defined for the specified language. You can do this by navigating to the program and checking the "Text Elements" section.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Text Elements:
  
  If the text elements are missing, you can create them by using transaction SE61 (for creating text elements) or SE80 (for editing the program).

  Transport Requests:

  Debugging:
  
  If you have access to the ABAP debugger, you can set breakpoints in the program to see where it is trying to access the text elements and why it is failing.
