How To Fix PT022 - The parameter VALID is mandatory

PT022 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PT - Messages for ABAP print functions

• Message number: 022

• Message text: The parameter VALID is mandatory

What causes this issue?

Function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS determines whether the user dialog
has been canceled, making the print parameters (OUT_PARAMETERS)
invalid. However, the parameter which it uses to do this, VALID, was
not passed. This makes the function call meaningless.

System Response

The system triggers a short dump to prevent any consequential errors.

How to fix this error?

Add the IMPORTING parameter VALID to the GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS call, and
query its value after the function module has been processed.
