  The SAP error message ICL_BRF_PLUS065 indicates that there is an issue with a Business Rule Framework (BRF+) expression where a message variable is expected but not provided. This typically occurs in scenarios where a message is being constructed, and the system requires a specific value or expression to be defined for that message variable.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  A message variable (denoted as &1 in the error message) is referenced in a BRF+ rule or expression, but no corresponding value or expression has been provided for it.
  The line number (&2) indicates where in the rule or expression the issue is occurring.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Rule/Expression: Locate the specific rule or expression in BRF+ that is causing the error. You can use the line number provided in the error message to find the exact location.
  
  
  Check Message Variables: Review the message variables used in the rule. Ensure that all message variables referenced (like &1) have corresponding values or expressions defined.
  
  
  Define the Missing Value: If a message variable is missing a value, you need to:
  
  Either provide a direct value (e.g., a string or number) for the variable.
  Or create an expression that evaluates to a value for that variable.
  
  
  
  Test the Rule: After making the necessary changes, test the rule to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the expected output is generated.
  
  
  Documentation and Comments: It may be helpful to add comments or documentation within the BRF+ rule to clarify the purpose of the message variables and their expected values for future reference.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BRF+ Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the BRF+ documentation provided by SAP, which includes guidelines on how to define expressions, message variables, and rules.
