• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 69228 - Form name is missing ?

  The SAP error message "69228 Form name is missing" typically occurs when there is an attempt to execute a print function or generate a form (like a smart form or SAPscript) without specifying a valid form name. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to print a document, generate a report, or send output via email.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Form Name: The most common cause is that the form name has not been specified in the print program or output configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: The output type may not be correctly configured in the system, leading to the absence of a form name.
  Program Logic: There may be an issue in the custom program or report logic that fails to retrieve or set the form name.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, authorization issues can prevent the system from accessing the form name.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Output Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code NACE to check the output type configuration.
  Ensure that the output type is correctly assigned to the relevant application and that a valid form name is specified.
  
  
  
  Review the Program Logic:
  
  If you are using a custom program, review the code to ensure that the form name is being set correctly before the print function is called.
  Look for any conditions that might lead to the form name being empty.
  
  
  
  Test with Standard Forms:
  
  If you are using a custom form, try switching to a standard SAP form to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem is with the custom form.
  
  
  
  Check for Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the print function has the necessary authorizations to access the form.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have access to debugging tools, you can set breakpoints in the relevant program to check the values being passed, especially the form name.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
