• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /OSP/MSG359 - No Records were deleted from table &1 ?

  The SAP error message /OSP/MSG359 No Records were deleted from table &1 typically indicates that an attempt to delete records from a specified table (denoted by &1) did not result in any records being removed. This can occur for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Possible Causes:
  
  
  No Matching Records: The most common reason for this error is that there are no records in the specified table that match the criteria for deletion. This could be due to incorrect selection criteria or filters applied during the deletion process.
  
  
  Data Locking: If the records are locked by another process or user, the deletion may not occur, leading to this message.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table.
  
  
  Table Constraints: There may be foreign key constraints or other database constraints that prevent the deletion of records.
  
  
  Logical Errors in Code: If the deletion is being executed through a custom program or report, there may be logical errors in the code that prevent the correct records from being identified for deletion.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the criteria used for the deletion operation to ensure that they are correct and that there are indeed records that should be deleted.
  
  
  Verify Record Existence: Before attempting to delete, run a query to check if the records you intend to delete actually exist in the table.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the records you are trying to delete. If locks are present, you may need to wait for them to be released or contact the user who holds the lock.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform delete operations on the specified table. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  Examine Constraints: Check for any foreign key or other constraints that might prevent the deletion of records. You may need to handle related records first before deleting.
  
  
  Debug Custom Code: If the deletion is part of a custom program, debug the code to ensure that it is functioning as intended and that the correct records are being targeted for deletion.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE38 (ABAP Program Execution), and SE80 (Object Navigator) for further investigation.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific error message or the table in question.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific module or functionality you are working with to understand the expected behavior and any prerequisites for deletion operations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement an appropriate solution.
