  The SAP error message ACM399 indicates that a dialog text object (usually a text element or message) is missing for the specified languages. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when a text element is not maintained for a specific language in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Text Object: The dialog text object (identified by &1) does not exist in the specified languages (&2 and &3). This could be due to:
  
  The text not being created for those languages.
  The text being deleted or not transported correctly from the development environment to the production environment.
  The language settings in the user profile or system configuration not being aligned with the available texts.
  
  
  
  Language Configuration: The system may not have the necessary language packs installed or configured properly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Text Maintenance:
  
  Go to transaction SE63 (Translation) or SE78 (SAPscript forms) to check if the text object exists for the specified languages.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create or maintain the text for the missing languages.
