  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EZ359 - Variable &1 does not have field &2 ?

    The SAP error message EZ359, which states "Variable &1 does not have field &2," typically occurs in the context of SAP reporting or query tools, such as SAP Query or SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error indicates that the specified variable (represented by &1) does not contain the field (represented by &2) that is being referenced in the report or query.

    Cause:

    1. Incorrect Variable Definition: The variable may not be defined correctly in the context of the report or query. This could happen if the variable is expected to pull data from a field that does not exist in the underlying data source.
    2. Field Name Changes: If the field name in the data source has changed (e.g., due to a change in the data model or a transport), the variable may still reference the old field name.
    3. Data Source Issues: The data source (e.g., InfoProvider, table, or view) may not contain the field that the variable is trying to access.
    4. Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain fields, leading to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Variable Definition: Review the definition of the variable in the query or report. Ensure that it is correctly defined and that it references the correct field in the data source.
    2. Verify Field Existence: Check the underlying data source to confirm that the field exists. If the field has been renamed or removed, update the variable to reference the correct field.
    3. Update Data Source: If the data source has changed, you may need to update the query or report to reflect these changes. This may involve modifying the query or re-creating the variable.
    4. Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the fields in question. If not, work with your SAP security team to grant the appropriate access.
    5. Test the Query/Report: After making changes, test the query or report to ensure that the error is resolved.
