  • What causes this issue?

    The process instruction is of type "dynamic function call".
    The following characteristics are used to assign the interface
    parameters of the calling function module to the process instruction:
    PPPI_EXPORT_PARAMETER
    PPPI_CHANGING_PARAMETER
    PPPI_IMPORT_PARAMETER
    For the system to be able to process this parameter correctly, you must
    define the value to be transferred for this parameter or the variable
    used in the PI sheet for the value to be transferred immediately after
    this parameter.
    However, the value to be transferred or the variable is missing for at
    least one parameter in the process instruction.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    For export parameters:
    Define a constant value or a variable whose value is to be transferred
    to the function module.
    For import and changing parameters:
    Assign the variable defined in the PI sheet for the value to be
    transferred.
    For changing parameters, the variable must have been defined in a
    preceding process instruction for the same control recipe destination
    or PI sheet.
