The SAP error message DDLS401 indicates that there is a mismatch in the position of an input parameter in a bound view. This typically occurs when there is a discrepancy between the definition of a view and the way it is being called or used in a program or another view.
Cause:
- Parameter Mismatch: The input parameters defined in the view do not match the expected order or type in the calling program or another view.
- Changes in View Definition: If the view has been modified (e.g., parameters added, removed, or reordered) after it was already used in other programs or views, this can lead to inconsistencies.
- Binding Issues: If the view is bound to a different context or if there are issues with the binding of parameters, this error can occur.
Solution:
- Check Parameter Definitions: Review the definition of the view and ensure that the input parameters are defined correctly. Make sure that the order and types of parameters match what is expected in the calling program.
- Update Calling Programs: If the view has been modified, update any programs or views that call this view to ensure they align with the new definition.
- Recreate the View: If the view is significantly out of sync, consider recreating it or regenerating it to ensure that all bindings are correct.
- Check for Dependencies: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check for dependencies and ensure that all related objects are consistent.
- Test the Changes: After making adjustments, test the changes in a development environment to ensure that the error is resolved before moving to production.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
