• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE845 - Different number of placeholders for message &1(&2) in language &3 and &4 ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE845 indicates that there is a mismatch in the number of placeholders defined for a message in different languages. This typically occurs in the context of message handling in SAP applications, particularly when using the Functionality for Dynamic Text (FDT) framework.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the same message is defined in multiple languages, but the number of placeholders (like %1, %2, etc.) used in the message text differs between the language versions. For example, if a message in English has two placeholders, but the corresponding message in German has only one, this inconsistency will trigger the FDT_CORE845 error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the number of placeholders in the message text is consistent across all language versions. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the Message: Determine which message is causing the error. The error message will typically include the message ID and the languages involved.
  
  
  Check Message Definitions:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE91 (Message Class) in SAP.
  Enter the message class and the message number that corresponds to the error.
  Review the message text in all relevant languages.
  
  
  
  Align Placeholders:
  
  Ensure that the number of placeholders in the message text is the same across all languages.
  If necessary, modify the message text in the language(s) that have a different number of placeholders to match the original definition.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes: If you are working in a development environment, make sure to transport the changes to the appropriate systems (e.g., quality assurance, production) as needed.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the adjustments, test the application or functionality that triggered the error to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Message Classes: In SAP, messages are organized into message classes, which can contain multiple messages. Each message can be defined in multiple languages.
  Placeholders: Placeholders are used in messages to dynamically insert values (like user names, dates, etc.) when the message is displayed.
  FDT Framework: The FDT framework allows for dynamic text handling in SAP applications, enabling the use of messages with placeholders.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FDT_CORE845 error and ensure that your messages are correctly defined across all languages.
