• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC059 - Noncontiguous macro parameters in macro '&1'. (Never!?) ?

  The SAP error message ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC059 indicates that there is an issue with the macro parameters in your ABAP code. Specifically, it points to noncontiguous macro parameters, which means that the parameters defined in the macro are not being used in a contiguous manner. This can happen if there are gaps or if the parameters are not being referenced correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Noncontiguous Parameters: The macro is defined with parameters that are not being used in a contiguous manner. For example, if you define a macro with parameters &1, &2, and &3, but you only use &1 and &3 in the macro body, this will trigger the error.
  Incorrect Macro Invocation: The way the macro is invoked might not match the expected parameters.
  Syntax Errors: There could be syntax errors in the macro definition or invocation that lead to this issue.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Macro Definition: Check the definition of the macro to ensure that all parameters are being used correctly and in a contiguous manner. If you have defined parameters &1, &2, and &3, make sure you are using them all or adjust the definition to match your usage.
  
  
  Correct Invocation: Ensure that when you invoke the macro, you are passing the correct number of parameters and that they are in the expected order.
  
  
  Refactor the Macro: If the macro is complex, consider refactoring it to simplify the parameter usage. You might want to break it down into smaller macros or functions if it helps in maintaining clarity.
  
  
  Check for Syntax Errors: Look for any syntax errors in the macro definition or invocation that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Macro Definition: In ABAP, macros are defined using the DEFINE statement and invoked using the CALL statement. Ensure that the parameters are defined and used correctly.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for macros in ABAP to understand the correct syntax and usage.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools in the ABAP Workbench to step through the code and identify where the macro is being incorrectly defined or invoked.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the error message ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC059 and ensure that your macros are functioning as intended.
