    enhancements to the method.

    The expression contains syntax errors and must be corrected.

    How to fix this error?

    The expression is not unique and must be enhanced. Choose the required

    my_export_parameter</>) and enter it in the first position in the
    parameter list.
    <AB>( _RESULT = 'my_export_parameter' ; ... )</>
