  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMCDBG021 - No lines were selected. ?

    The SAP error message VMCDBG021: No lines were selected typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when a user attempts to execute a transaction or report that requires data selection, but no data meets the selection criteria specified. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the execution of a report, a query, or when trying to process data in a specific module.

    Causes:

    1. Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria entered by the user do not match any records in the database. This could be due to incorrect date ranges, missing parameters, or filters that are too restrictive.
    2. Data Availability: There may be no data available in the system for the specified criteria. This could be due to data not being entered, or it may have been archived or deleted.
    3. Authorization Issues: Sometimes, users may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to no records being displayed.
    4. System Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the SAP system that prevent data from being retrieved correctly.

    Solutions:

    1. Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that they are correct and broad enough to include potential records. For example, if you are filtering by date, try widening the date range.
    2. Check Data Availability: Verify that there is data in the system that meets your criteria. You can do this by running a broader query or checking the relevant tables directly.
    3. Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. If you suspect this is the issue, contact your SAP security administrator.
    4. Consult Documentation: Refer to the documentation for the specific transaction or report you are using to ensure you are using it correctly.
    5. System Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to ensure that the system is set up correctly to retrieve the required data.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using specific transaction codes (e.g., SE16, SE11) to view data. Familiarize yourself with the appropriate transaction codes for your needs.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common problems.
