• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MEREP_00611 - &1 does not have RETURN parameter in export or tables parameter ?

  The SAP error message MEREP_00611 indicates that a function module or method you are trying to call does not have a RETURN parameter defined in its export or tables parameters. This is a common issue when working with function modules in SAP, especially when the calling program expects a RETURN parameter for error handling or status messages.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RETURN Parameter: The function module or method you are calling does not include a RETURN parameter, which is typically used to return messages or status information back to the calling program.
  Incorrect Function Module: You may be calling the wrong function module that does not meet your requirements.
  Misconfiguration: There could be a misconfiguration in the way the function module is defined or how it is being called.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Function Module Definition:
  
  Go to transaction SE37 (Function Builder) or SE80 (Object Navigator).
  Enter the name of the function module you are calling and check its parameters.
  Ensure that it has a RETURN parameter defined. If it does not, you may need to use a different function module that does.
  
  
  
  Modify the Calling Program:
  
  If the function module is correct but does not have a RETURN parameter, you will need to adjust your calling program to handle the absence of this parameter.
  Remove any code that expects a RETURN parameter from the calling program.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Function Modules:
  
  If the function module you are using is not suitable, look for alternative function modules that provide the required functionality and include a RETURN parameter.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Check the SAP documentation or help files for the function module to understand its intended use and parameters.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
