• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BSNAGT/MESSAGE080 - Cannot display message; message empty ?

  The SAP error message /BSNAGT/MESSAGE080 Cannot display message; message empty typically indicates that the system is trying to display a message that has not been defined or is empty. This can occur in various scenarios, such as during the execution of a program, transaction, or report where a message is expected to be shown to the user.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Message Definition: The message that the system is trying to display has not been defined in the message class.
  Incorrect Message Class: The program or transaction may be referencing the wrong message class or message number.
  Custom Development Issues: If the error occurs in a custom program, there may be an issue in the code where the message is not being set correctly before being displayed.
  Transport Issues: If the message was recently transported from one system to another, it may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Message Class: Verify that the message class and message number being referenced in the program or transaction are correct. You can do this by using transaction SE91 (Message Class Maintenance) to check if the message exists.
  Define the Message: If the message is indeed missing, you can define it in the appropriate message class using transaction SE91.
  Review Custom Code: If the error is occurring in a custom program, review the code to ensure that the message is being set correctly before it is displayed. Look for any logic that might lead to the message being empty.
  Check Transport Requests: If the message was supposed to be transported, ensure that the transport request includes the message class and that it has been successfully imported into the target system.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP debugger, you can set breakpoints in the relevant code to see what message is being attempted to be displayed and why it might be empty.
