  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WAB022 - Text for error message &1 &2 not found in language &3 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WAB022 Text for error message &1 &2 not found in language &3


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to display an error message or text associated with a particular message class and message number, but the text for that message is not maintained or available in the specified language (&3).

    • &1 = Message class
    • &2 = Message number
    • &3 = Language key (e.g., EN for English, DE for German)

    In other words, the system is looking for the text of a message (from message class &1, message number &2) in language &3, but it cannot find it.


    Typical Scenarios:

    • The message text was never created or translated in the specified language.
    • The language is newly added or rarely used, and message texts have not been maintained for it.
    • There might be a transport or system copy issue where message texts were not properly imported.
    • Custom message classes or messages were created but texts were not maintained for all languages.

    Solution:

    1. Check the message class and message number:

      • Use transaction SE91 (Message Maintenance).
      • Enter the message class (&1) and message number (&2).
      • Check if the message text exists for the language &3.
    2. Maintain the missing message text:

      • If the text is missing for language &3, maintain it by entering the appropriate text.
      • Save and transport the changes if necessary.
    3. Check language settings:

      • Verify if the language &3 is valid and active in the system.
      • If the language is new, ensure all necessary translations are maintained.
    4. System copy or transport issues:

      • If this error appears after a system copy or transport, verify that message texts were included.
      • Re-import or re-transport message texts if needed.
    5. Fallback language:

      • SAP usually falls back to the logon language or system language if a message text is missing.
      • If fallback is not working, check system settings or consider maintaining the message text in the fallback language.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SE91: Used to maintain message classes and messages.
    • Language Keys: SAP language keys are two-character codes (e.g., EN, DE, FR).
    • Message Classes: Groupings of messages used in ABAP programs.
    • Transport Requests: Changes to message texts must be transported between systems.
    • SAP Notes: Sometimes SAP releases notes related to missing message texts or language issues.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error WAB022 Text for error message &1 &2 not found in language &3
    Cause Missing message text for given message class/number in specified language
    Solution Maintain missing message text in SE91 for the language &3
