• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 60REDB021 - Error: empty table as import parameter ?

  The SAP error message 60REDB021 indicates that an import parameter expected to contain data (specifically a table) is empty when it is being passed to a function module or method. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when calling a BAPI, RFC, or any other function that requires a table parameter.
  Cause:
  
  
  Empty Table: The most straightforward cause is that the table variable being passed as an import parameter is indeed empty. This could be due to:
  
  No data being selected or populated into the table before the function call.
  Logic errors in the program that prevent data from being added to the table.
  Incorrect conditions or filters applied when populating the table.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Data Flow: The data flow in the program might not be correctly set up, leading to the table not being filled as expected.
  
  
  Function Module Requirements: The function module or method being called may have specific requirements for the data being passed, and if those are not met, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Table Population: Before calling the function module, ensure that the table variable is populated with the expected data. You can do this by:
  
  Adding debugging statements to check the contents of the table before the call.
  Using breakpoints to inspect the data flow.
  
  
  
  Review Logic: Review the logic that populates the table to ensure that it is functioning as intended. Look for any conditions that might prevent data from being added.
  
  
  Function Module Documentation: Check the documentation for the function module or method you are calling. Ensure that you understand the requirements for the import parameters, including any mandatory fields or conditions.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling to manage cases where the table might be empty. This could involve checking the table's contents before making the call and handling the situation appropriately (e.g., logging a message, skipping the call, etc.).
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the program to ensure that the issue is resolved and that the function call behaves as expected with valid data.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific function module you are using.
  Debugging Tools: Utilize SAP debugging tools to step through the code and monitor variable states.
