• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/3FWTG_GENERATOR118 - &1 arguments were expected but &2 were specified ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/3FWTG_GENERATOR118 indicates a mismatch in the number of arguments expected versus the number of arguments provided in a function or method call. Specifically, it states that &1 arguments were expected, but &2 were specified. This type of error typically occurs in ABAP programs or function modules when the parameters passed do not match the expected signature.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Function Call: The function or method being called is expecting a certain number of parameters, but the caller is providing either too few or too many.
  Changes in Function Signature: If the function or method signature has been changed (e.g., parameters added or removed) and the calling code has not been updated accordingly, this error can occur.
  Dynamic Calls: If the function is being called dynamically (e.g., using CALL FUNCTION with variable parameters), the arguments may not match the expected count.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function Module/Method Definition: Review the definition of the function module or method being called to confirm the expected number of parameters.
  Update Calling Code: Modify the calling code to ensure that the correct number of arguments is being passed. This may involve adding or removing parameters as necessary.
  Review Recent Changes: If the error started occurring after a recent change, review those changes to identify any modifications to the function signature.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to step through the code and inspect the parameters being passed to the function to identify discrepancies.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or the function module documentation for details on the expected parameters.
  
  Related Information:
