• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/3FWM_TOOL118 - &1 arguments were expected but &2 were specified ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/3FWM_TOOL118 &1 arguments were expected but &2 were specified typically indicates a mismatch between the number of arguments that a function or method expects and the number of arguments that were actually provided during a call. This can occur in various contexts, such as when using function modules, methods, or even when calling transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Function Call: The function or method being called is defined to accept a certain number of parameters, but the caller is providing either too few or too many.
  Changes in Function Definition: If the function or method was recently modified (e.g., additional parameters were added), existing calls to that function may not have been updated accordingly.
  Configuration Issues: In some cases, configuration settings or custom implementations may lead to discrepancies in expected parameters.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function/Method Definition: Review the definition of the function or method being called to confirm the expected number of parameters. This can be done in the ABAP Workbench (SE80) or by using transaction SE37 for function modules.
  Update Function Calls: Ensure that all calls to the function or method are updated to match the expected number of parameters. This may involve adding or removing parameters as necessary.
  Review Documentation: If the function is part of a standard SAP module, check the relevant SAP documentation or notes for any changes or updates that may affect how the function should be called.
  Debugging: If the error occurs during runtime, consider using the debugger to trace the execution and identify where the mismatch is happening.
  Consult with Developers: If you are not the developer, it may be helpful to consult with the development team to understand the context of the function and any recent changes that may have been made.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE37 (Function Module), SE80 (Object Navigator), or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to investigate the function or method in question.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address this specific error or provide guidance on similar issues.
  Community Forums: Consider checking SAP Community forums or other developer forums for similar issues and solutions shared by other users.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
