C0601 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: C0 - PP-PI: Messages for PI Sheet and Syntax Checker

• Message number: 601

• Message text: Phase &, instr. &: Error during exponentiation in formula &

What causes this issue?

The process instruction &V2& for phase &V1& of the process order
contains the formula &V3&. This formula contains an exponentiation.
When this exponentiation was carried out, an error occurred.

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?

RESET N1
Check and, if necessary, correct the values reported in the PI sheet
that are used in the formula.
<ZH>In the case of PI sheets with test function:</>
Check and, if necessary, correct the definition of the formula in the
process order.
Then create a new control recipe and maintain the corresponding PI
sheet.
<DS:TRAN.COR2>Change process order</>
<ZH>In the case of productive PI sheets:</>
Errors in the process instruction cannot be corrected for the current
PI sheet.
If necessary, deactivate the process instruction in the PI sheet.
Manually calculate the value.
Manually create the process message to be used for reporting the value.

C0601 - Details

• The SAP error message C0601, which indicates "Error during exponentiation in formula &," typically occurs during the execution of a calculation in a formula where an exponentiation operation is involved. This error can arise in various contexts, such as during the execution of a report, a calculation in a planning application, or when processing data in a specific module.
  Causes:
  
  Invalid Input Values: The error may occur if the input values for the exponentiation operation are invalid, such as negative bases with non-integer exponents.
  Overflow or Underflow: The calculation may result in a number that exceeds the maximum or minimum limits that can be handled by the system.
  Data Type Issues: The data types of the operands may not be compatible for exponentiation, leading to errors.
  Formula Logic Errors: There may be logical errors in the formula itself, such as incorrect references or calculations that lead to undefined results.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Input Values: Review the input values
