  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCF/CL_MDL_MESSAGES068 - Formfield &1 has invalid row number &2 ?

    The SAP error message /SCF/CL_MDL_MESSAGES068 indicates that there is an issue with a form field in a Smart Forms or Adobe Forms scenario, specifically that the form field has an invalid row number. This error typically arises when the system is trying to access a row in a table or a structure that does not exist or is out of bounds.

    Cause:

    1. Invalid Row Reference: The error is often caused by referencing a row number that is either negative, zero, or exceeds the number of rows available in the internal table or structure.
    2. Data Population Issues: If the data being passed to the form is not populated correctly or if there are conditions that lead to an empty table, this error can occur.
    3. Dynamic Table Handling: If the form is designed to handle dynamic tables, and the logic for determining the number of rows is flawed, it can lead to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Row Number Logic: Review the logic that determines the row number being accessed. Ensure that it is within the valid range of the internal table or structure.
    2. Validate Data Population: Ensure that the data being passed to the form is correctly populated. Check if the internal table has the expected number of entries before accessing specific rows.
    3. Debugging: Use debugging tools to step through the code that populates the form data. Look for any conditions that might lead to an invalid row number being referenced.
    4. Error Handling: Implement error handling to check if the row number is valid before attempting to access it. This can prevent the error from occurring and allow for graceful handling of such situations.
    5. Review Form Design: If using Smart Forms or Adobe Forms, review the design to ensure that the fields are correctly bound to the data and that the logic for displaying rows is correctly implemented.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. Sometimes, specific versions of SAP may have bugs that are documented in SAP Notes.
