  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DA002 - FORM & in &: parameter & not expected ?

    The SAP error message "DA002 FORM & in &: parameter & not expected" typically occurs during the execution of an ABAP program or when calling a form routine. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the parameters defined in the form routine and the parameters being passed to it.

    Cause:

    1. Parameter Mismatch: The form routine is defined with a specific set of parameters, but the call to the form routine is passing a different number or type of parameters.
    2. Incorrect Form Name: The form name being called may not exist or may be misspelled.
    3. Scope Issues: The form routine may not be accessible in the current context due to visibility or scope issues.
    4. Typographical Errors: There may be typographical errors in the form name or parameter names.

    Solution:

    1. Check Form Definition: Verify the definition of the form routine to ensure that the parameters are correctly defined. You can do this by looking for the FORM statement in the ABAP code.

      FORM my_form USING param1 TYPE data_type1 param2 TYPE data_type2.
    2. Check Form Call: Review the call to the form routine to ensure that the correct number and type of parameters are being passed.

      PERFORM my_form USING value1 value2.
    3. Correct Parameter Types: Ensure that the types of the parameters being passed match the types defined in the form routine.

    4. Check for Typos: Look for any typographical errors in the form name or parameter names in both the definition and the call.

    5. Scope and Visibility: Ensure that the form routine is defined in a scope that is accessible from where it is being called. If the form is defined in a different program or include, ensure that it is properly included.

    6. Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the mismatch occurs.

    • ABAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on form routines and parameter passing in ABAP.
