  The SAP error message 33203 indicates that a function module you are trying to call requires a TABLES parameter, which is not being provided in the call. This error typically occurs when you are using a function module that is designed to handle table parameters, but the calling program does not supply the necessary data in the expected format.
  Cause:
  
  Missing TABLES Parameter: The function module you are calling expects a TABLES parameter, but it is not being passed in the call.
  Incorrect Function Module Usage: The function module may be used incorrectly, either by not providing the required parameters or by using it in a context that does not support TABLES parameters.
  Incompatibility: The function module may be incompatible with the way it is being called, especially if it is being called from a context that does not support TABLES parameters.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function Module Documentation: Review the documentation for the function module to understand its parameters and ensure that you are providing all required parameters, especially the TABLES parameter.
  Modify the Call: Ensure that you are passing the necessary TABLES parameter in your function module call. For example:
  CALL FUNCTION 'FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    TABLES
      your_table_parameter = your_table_data.
  
  Use Correct Data Types: Make sure that the data you are passing to the TABLES parameter is of the correct type and structure as expected by the function module.
  Debugging: If you are unsure about the parameters being passed, use the debugger to inspect the values and types of the parameters at runtime.
