TR198
- Field "Language" is not specified with '*' or '/L' ?The SAP error message TR198, which states "Field 'Language' is not specified with '*' or '/L'," typically occurs in the context of transport requests or when dealing with language-dependent objects in SAP. This error indicates that the system is expecting a specification for the language field, but it has not been provided correctly.
Cause:
- Missing Language Specification: The error usually arises when a transport request is being processed, and the language field is not specified. In SAP, language-dependent objects need to have a language specified for proper handling.
- Incorrect Syntax: The syntax used to specify the language might be incorrect. For example, using an incorrect format or not using the wildcard '*' or the language code '/L' as expected by the system.
Solution:
Specify the Language: When executing the transport request or related transaction, ensure that you specify the language correctly. You can use:
*
to indicate all languages./L
followed by the specific language code (e.g.,/L EN
for English).For example, if you are using a transaction that requires a language specification, you might enter
/L EN
to specify English.Check Transport Request: If you are working with a transport request, ensure that the request is correctly configured and that all necessary language specifications are included.
Review Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct syntax or how to specify the language, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or transport request you are working with.
Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator, as they can provide insights into system configurations and transport settings.
