• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ABADR068 - Input table is empty. No entry was deleted ?

  The SAP error message ABADR068: Input table is empty. No entry was deleted typically occurs when you are trying to delete entries from a database table, but the input table (the table that contains the entries you want to delete) is empty. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when using a program or transaction that is supposed to delete records based on certain criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Input Table: The most straightforward cause is that the input table you are using to specify which records to delete does not contain any entries.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: If the criteria used to populate the input table are too restrictive or incorrect, it may result in an empty table.
  Data Processing Logic: There may be an issue in the logic of the program or report that is supposed to populate the input table before the delete operation is executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Table: Verify that the input table you are using is indeed populated with the correct data before the delete operation is executed. You can do this by debugging the program or checking the relevant data in the database.
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria used to populate the input table are correct and that they should yield results. Adjust the criteria if necessary.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, you can set breakpoints and debug the program to see where the input table is being populated and why it might be empty.
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data you expect to delete actually exists in the database. You can run a SELECT query to confirm the presence of the records.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your program to manage cases where the input table is empty, so that the program can handle this scenario gracefully without throwing an error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you might be using specific transaction codes (like SE38 for executing reports or SE80 for development) that could be relevant to the issue.
  ABAP Development: If you are a developer, you may want to look into the ABAP code that is responsible for the delete operation to ensure it is functioning as intended.
