• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SY067 - Variable parameter list only allowed at end of record ?

  The SAP error message SY067, which states "Variable parameter list only allowed at end of record," typically occurs in ABAP programming when there is an issue with the definition of a data structure or a function module that uses variable-length parameters.
  Cause:
  This error arises when you attempt to define a variable-length parameter list (using the ... notation) in a position other than at the end of the parameter list in a function module or method. In ABAP, variable-length parameters must always be the last parameter in the list.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that any variable-length parameter (defined with ...) is placed at the end of the parameter list. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  
  Check Function Module/Method Definition: Review the definition of the function module or method where the error occurs. Ensure that if you are using a variable-length parameter, it is the last parameter in the list.
  Example of correct usage:
  FUNCTION my_function.
    IMPORTING
      VALUE(param1) TYPE i
      VALUE(param2) TYPE c LENGTH 10
      VALUE(param3) TYPE c LENGTH 20
      ...
  ENDFUNCTION.
  
  
  Rearrange Parameters: If you find that the variable-length parameter is not at the end, rearrange the parameters so that it is the last one.
  
  
  Review Calling Code: If the error is occurring when calling a function module, ensure that the parameters are being passed correctly and that the variable-length parameter is the last argument in the call.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Variable-Length Parameters: In ABAP, variable-length parameters are defined using the ... notation. They allow for a flexible number of arguments to be passed to a function or method.
  Function Module Documentation: Always refer to the SAP documentation for the specific function module or method you are working with to understand the expected parameter structure.
  ABAP Syntax: Familiarize yourself with ABAP syntax rules regarding parameter lists, especially when dealing with variable-length parameters.
  
  By following these guidelines, you should be able to resolve the SY067 error and ensure that your ABAP code adheres to the correct syntax for defining parameters.
