  for column &3: This indicates the column in the database or data structure that is associated with the missing parameter.
  in rule &4: This specifies the rule in which the error is occurring.
  
  Cause
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Configuration: The parameter that is referenced in the rule is not defined in the system configuration.
  Incorrect Rule Definition: The rule may have been incorrectly defined, leading to a reference to a non-existent parameter.
  Changes in Data Structure: If there have been changes to the underlying data structure (e.g., database table changes), the rules may not have been updated accordingly.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Rule Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction code for managing duplicate check rules (e.g., SICF or SICD).

  Ensure that all parameters referenced in the rule are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Define Missing Parameters:
  
  If the parameter mentioned in the error message is indeed missing, you will need to define it.
  This can usually be done in the same transaction where you manage the duplicate check rules.
  
  
  
  Review Data Structure:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the data structure, ensure that the rules are updated to reflect these changes.
  Check if the column mentioned in the error message still exists and is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Test the Rule:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the rule to ensure that it works as expected and that the error no longer occurs.
