  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons:
  
  Parameter Usage: The parameter or text you are trying to delete is being used in the function module or is referenced elsewhere in the system.
  System Restrictions: Certain parameters may be defined as mandatory or have specific attributes that prevent them from being deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the function module is part of a transport request, there may be restrictions on modifying it until the transport is released or imported.
  Locking Issues: The function module might be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FL613 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Parameter Usage:

  Review Function Module Attributes:
  
  Check the attributes of the parameter. If it is marked as mandatory or has specific settings that prevent deletion, you will need to adjust your approach.
  
  
  
  Unlock the Function Module:
