How To Fix KE821 - Only long text from function module RKE_EXECUTE_WITH_DATA is displayed

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KE -

• Message number: 821

• Message text: Only long text from function module RKE_EXECUTE_WITH_DATA is displayed

&HINT&
A new mode has been opened to execute a report. The data that was
changed or created in the current transaction has been copied to the
new mode. You can enter any report name in that mode and execute the
report.
Alongside the normal data, the report also displays the data that was
changed in the current transaction. The report then handles the
additional data as if it had already been posted.
&PRECONDITIONS&
When selecting a report, you should note the following:
Use a report with which any modified data can be displayed.
If, for example, you entered plannng data for customer 4711, but the
report that is started is restricted to customer 007, the changes made
in planning are not obviously not shown in the report.
Use a report for which you have selected the "Current data" indicator
in report definition under "Options" in the "Performance" block.
The additional data will not be shown if frozen report data or
summarization data are read without the current data.
