• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SIT2_DESIGN_TIME026 - Public text cannot have parameters. ?

  The SAP error message SIT2_DESIGN_TIME026, which states "Public text cannot have parameters," typically occurs in the context of SAP's text management system, particularly when dealing with text elements in ABAP programs or when defining texts for user interfaces.
  Cause:
  This error arises when you attempt to define a public text (a text that is meant to be used across different programs or modules) with parameters. Public texts in SAP are meant to be static and do not support dynamic content, which is what parameters would imply. Therefore, if you try to include parameters in a public text definition, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Text Definition: Review the text definition where the error is occurring. Ensure that you are not trying to include any parameters in the public text.
  
  
  Use Local Texts: If you need to include dynamic content, consider using local texts instead of public texts. Local texts can include parameters and are defined within the scope of a specific program or function module.
  
  
  Modify the Text: If the text must remain public, modify it to remove any parameters. You can create a separate mechanism to handle dynamic content, such as using string concatenation or formatting in your ABAP code.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation or help resources for more information on text management and the differences between public and local texts.
