• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC060 - Noncontiguous macro parameters in macro definition '&1' ?

  The SAP error message ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC060 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a macro in your ABAP code. Specifically, the error message "Noncontiguous macro parameters in macro definition '&1'" suggests that the macro parameters are not defined in a contiguous manner, which is a requirement for macro definitions in ABAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the macro parameters are defined in a way that they are not sequentially numbered or are missing some numbers in the sequence. For example, if you define a macro with parameters like &1, &3, and &4, but skip &2, it will trigger this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the macro definition and ensure that all parameters are defined in a contiguous manner. Here are the steps to fix the issue:
  
  
  Locate the Macro Definition: Find the macro definition in your ABAP code where the error is reported.
  
  
  Check Parameter Sequence: Ensure that the parameters are defined sequentially without any gaps. For example, if you have:
  DEFINE my_macro.
    " Some code using &1, &2, &3
  END-OF-DEFINITION.
  Make sure that you are using &1, &2, &3, etc., without skipping any numbers.
  
  
  Correct the Definition: If you find any noncontiguous parameters, correct them by renumbering or adding the missing parameters. For example:
  DEFINE my_macro.
    " Some code using &1, &2, &3
  END-OF-DEFINITION.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary changes, recompile the code and test to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Macro Definition in ABAP: Macros in ABAP are defined using the DEFINE and END-OF-DEFINITION statements. They allow you to create reusable code snippets.
  Parameter Usage: When using macros, ensure that you are aware of how many parameters you are defining and using. Each parameter should be referenced correctly in the macro body.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on macro definitions and best practices in ABAP programming.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC060 error and ensure that your macro definitions are correctly structured.
