• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KV897 - No report name specified for the SUBMIT. Calling program: &1 ?

  The SAP error message KV897 "No report name specified for the SUBMIT. Calling program: &1" typically occurs when a program attempts to execute a report using the SUBMIT statement without providing a valid report name. This can happen for several reasons, including programming errors or incorrect parameters being passed to the SUBMIT statement.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Report Name: The most common cause is that the report name is not specified in the SUBMIT statement.
  Dynamic Report Name: If the report name is being constructed dynamically, it may not be set correctly or may be empty at runtime.
  Incorrect Logic: There may be a logical error in the code that leads to the report name not being assigned before the SUBMIT statement is executed.
  Variable Scope: The variable holding the report name may not be in scope or may have been modified unexpectedly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the SUBMIT Statement: Review the code where the SUBMIT statement is used. Ensure that a valid report name is provided. The syntax should look like this:
  SUBMIT <report_name> TO SAP-SPOOL AND RETURN.
  
  Debugging: Use the debugger to check the value of the variable that is supposed to hold the report name just before the SUBMIT statement is executed. Ensure it is not empty or null.
  Static vs. Dynamic Names: If the report name is being constructed dynamically, ensure that the logic to set the report name is correct and that it is being set before the SUBMIT statement is called.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling to check if the report name is valid before attempting to submit it. You can use a conditional statement to check if the report name is not initial:
  IF <report_name> IS NOT INITIAL.
      SUBMIT <report_name> TO SAP-SPOOL AND RETURN.
  ELSE.
      " Handle the error case
