  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S7007 - Program &1 is not a report program (type '&2') ?

    The SAP error message S7007 indicates that the program you are trying to execute is not classified as a report program. This error typically occurs when you attempt to run a program that is not intended to be executed in the same way as a report, or when the program type does not match the expected type for report execution.

    Cause:

    1. Program Type Mismatch: The program you are trying to run is not defined as a report program. In SAP, programs can be of various types (e.g., module pool, function group, etc.), and only report programs can be executed directly.
    2. Incorrect Execution Method: You might be trying to execute a program that is meant to be called from another program or is designed for background processing rather than direct execution.
    3. Missing or Incorrect Attributes: The program may not have the correct attributes set in the ABAP Dictionary, which defines it as a report.

    Solution:

    1. Check Program Type: Verify the type of the program you are trying to execute. You can do this by going to the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38 or SE80) and checking the attributes of the program.
    2. Use Correct Execution Method: If the program is not a report, you may need to call it from another program or use a different transaction that is designed to execute it.
    3. Modify Program Attributes: If you have the necessary authorizations and it is appropriate, you can modify the program attributes to classify it as a report. This typically involves setting the program type to "Executable Program" in the attributes.
    4. Consult Documentation: Check the documentation or comments within the program to understand its intended use and how it should be executed.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes SE38 (ABAP Editor) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to view and edit the program.
    • Program Types: Familiarize yourself with different program types in SAP, such as:
      • Executable Programs (Reports)
      • Module Pools
      • Function Groups
    • Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to execute or modify the program.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific program or error message.

    If you continue to encounter issues, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or ABAP development team for further assistance.
