  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_TEXT004 - Invalid parameters for calling form &1 in program &2 ?

    The SAP error message COM_TEXT004 indicates that there are invalid parameters being passed to a form in a specific program. This error typically arises when the parameters expected by the form do not match the parameters being provided, which can lead to issues in processing.

    Cause:

    1. Parameter Mismatch: The parameters defined in the form do not match the parameters being passed from the calling program. This could be due to incorrect data types, missing parameters, or extra parameters.
    2. Form Definition Issues: The form itself may not be defined correctly, or it may have been modified without updating the calling program.
    3. Program Logic Errors: There may be logical errors in the program that lead to incorrect parameters being passed to the form.
    4. Changes in Data Dictionary: If there have been changes in the data dictionary (like changes in structures or tables), it may affect the parameters being passed.

    Solution:

    1. Check Parameter Definitions: Review the parameter definitions in both the form and the calling program. Ensure that they match in terms of data types and number of parameters.
    2. Debugging: Use the debugger to step through the code and identify where the parameters are being set and passed. This can help pinpoint the exact location of the mismatch.
    3. Review Form Logic: Check the logic within the form to ensure it is correctly handling the parameters. If the form has been modified, ensure that the changes are compatible with the calling program.
    4. Update Program: If the form has been changed, update the calling program to ensure it passes the correct parameters.
    5. Consult Documentation: If the form is part of a standard SAP module, consult the SAP documentation or notes for any known issues or updates related to the form.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE37 (Function Module) to analyze the form and the calling program.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific program or form you are working with.
    • Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the program to ensure that the error is resolved and that the form behaves as expected.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
