• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ABAP_TESTDOUBLE008 - &4 Importing parameters not allowed in config call. Use SET_PARAMETER ?

  The SAP error message ABAP_TESTDOUBLE008 indicates that there is an issue with the way parameters are being passed in a configuration call. Specifically, it states that importing parameters are not allowed in a configuration call and suggests using SET_PARAMETER instead.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you are trying to pass parameters to a function module or method that is intended to be called in a configuration context (like a configuration transaction or a configuration function). In such contexts, the system does not allow importing parameters directly. Instead, it expects you to use the SET_PARAMETER method to set the parameters before the call.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Function Module/Method: Determine which function module or method is causing the error.
  
  
  Use SET_PARAMETER: Instead of passing parameters directly in the call, use the SET_PARAMETER method to set the parameters. This method allows you to set values that can be accessed within the configuration call.
  Here is a simple example of how to use SET_PARAMETER:
  DATA: lv_value TYPE your_type.
  
  " Set the parameter value
  SET_PARAMETER 'PARAM_NAME' lv_value.
  
  " Call the function/module without importing parameters
  CALL FUNCTION 'YOUR_FUNCTION_MODULE'.
  
  
  Check Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific function module or method you are using to ensure you understand how to properly set parameters.
  
  
  Testing: After making the changes, test the configuration call to ensure that the error is resolved and that the parameters are being processed correctly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SET_PARAMETER: This is a standard ABAP statement used to set parameters for function calls that do not allow importing parameters directly.
  Function Modules: Some function modules are designed to be called in a specific context (like configuration) and have restrictions on how parameters can be passed.
  ABAP Documentation: Always refer to the official SAP documentation for the specific function module or method you are using to understand its parameters and usage.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ABAP_TESTDOUBLE008 error and successfully execute your configuration call.
