• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCWN613 - Function module &1 created; you cannot delete parameter/text &2 ?

  The SAP error message SCWN613 indicates that you are trying to delete a parameter or text from a function module that has already been created. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's ABAP programming environment when working with function modules.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The function module has been activated, and once activated, certain elements (like parameters or texts) cannot be deleted directly.
  The system enforces integrity rules to ensure that the function module remains consistent and functional.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Modify Instead of Delete: Instead of trying to delete the parameter or text, you can modify it. Change the parameter's attributes or rename it if necessary.
  
  
  Create a New Function Module: If the changes are significant and you need to remove parameters, consider creating a new function module with the desired parameters and texts. This way, you can keep the old function module intact for reference or backward compatibility.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies on the parameter or text you are trying to delete. If other objects (like programs, function calls, etc.) depend on it, you may need to adjust those dependencies first.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If the function module is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is not locked or in a state that prevents changes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help resources for any specific guidelines related to function module management and parameter handling.
  
  
  Related Information:
