  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SABP_UNIT202 - Program &1 &2 is not known in table TADIR ?

    The SAP error message SABP_UNIT202 indicates that the program specified in the error message (denoted as &1 &2) is not found in the TADIR table. The TADIR table is a directory table in SAP that contains information about various objects in the SAP system, including programs, function modules, and other development objects.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Program: The program you are trying to execute or access does not exist in the system. This could be due to it not being transported correctly or it being deleted.
    2. Transport Issues: If the program was recently transported from another system, there may have been an issue during the transport process.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the program, leading to the system not recognizing it.
    4. Incorrect Naming: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the program name being referenced.

    Solution:

    1. Check Program Existence:

      • Use transaction SE38 or SE80 to check if the program exists in the system. If it does not, you may need to create it or transport it from another system.
    2. Transport the Program:

      • If the program is missing due to transport issues, ensure that the transport request containing the program is released and imported into the target system.
    3. Check Authorizations:

      • Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the program. You can check this using transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
    4. Correct Naming:

      • Double-check the program name for any typos or errors. Ensure that the correct program name is being used in the transaction or report.
    5. Debugging:

      • If you have access to debugging tools, you can set breakpoints to see where the error is being triggered and gather more context about the issue.
    6. Consult Documentation:

      • If the program is part of a standard SAP application, consult the SAP documentation or support notes for any known issues or updates related to the program.

    Related Information:

    • TADIR Table: This table contains the directory of all development objects in the SAP system. You can query this table to see if the program is listed.
