  The SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO442 indicates that an email action was created without specifying any recipients. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDT) or similar functionalities where email notifications are configured but not properly set up with recipient details.
  Cause:

  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the email action within the workflow or process that is supposed to trigger the email.
  User Permissions: The user creating the email action may not have the necessary permissions to access or specify recipients.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Email Action Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the email action in the relevant transaction (e.g., FDT or workflow configuration).
  Ensure that you have specified at least one recipient in the "To", "Cc", or "Bcc" fields.

  Review Workflow Settings:
  
  If the email action is part of a workflow, check the workflow settings to ensure that the email action is correctly linked to the appropriate workflow steps and that recipient determination is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  User Permissions:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary permissions to send emails and access recipient data. If not, adjust the user roles or permissions accordingly.
