What causes this issue?

The parameter list of the function you have chosen still contains a

that the parameter still contains the entry SPACE.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Provide the corresponding parameter with a value. If you want the
parameter to keep the value SPACE, enter a blank space with
apostrophies or single quotation marks on both sides (' ').
If you do not see a parameter without a valid value, scroll through the
list of parameters. The function might have further parameters that
were not displayed in the table when you accessed the parameter list.
