This error typically arises in the context of SAP's transport management system or when working with transport requests and scripts.
  Cause:

  Check Data Inputs: Ensure that the data being passed to the macro is valid and in the expected format. Validate any external data sources or parameters.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for any specific guidelines or limitations regarding macros in scripts.
