  Check the Function Module Interface:
  
  Go to transaction SE37.
  Enter the function module name (the & in the message is replaced by the actual function module name in the real error).
  Review the importing, exporting, changing, and tables parameters.
  
  
  
  Verify the CALL FUNCTION Statement:
  
  In your ABAP code, check the CALL FUNCTION statement.
