• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD377 - Indicator "Results Parameter" missing in BOR method & ?

  The SAP error message:
  WD377 Indicator "Results Parameter" missing in BOR method &
  typically occurs in the context of Web Dynpro ABAP (WD ABAP) when dealing with BOR (Business Object Repository) methods.
  
  Cause
  This error indicates that a BOR method, which is expected to have a "Results Parameter" (i.e., an exporting or returning parameter that provides output from the method), is missing this parameter in its definition.
  In Web Dynpro ABAP, when you use BOR methods, the framework expects certain methods to have a results parameter to retrieve output values. If the BOR method definition does not include this, the runtime raises this error.
  
  Explanation
  
  BOR methods are methods defined in the Business Object Repository.
  Some BOR methods are designed to return results via a "Results Parameter" (an exporting or returning parameter).
  If a BOR method is called in Web Dynpro and the method does not have this parameter, the framework cannot handle the output, leading to the error.
  The placeholder & in the message is replaced by the method name at runtime.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the BOR method definition:
  
  Use transaction SWO1 to open the Business Object.
  Navigate to the method mentioned in the error message.
  Verify if the method has an exporting or returning parameter defined.
  
  
  
  If the method is missing the results parameter:
  
  Modify the BOR method to include the required results parameter.
  This might require adjusting the BOR object in the Business Object Builder.
  If you do not have authorization or it is a standard BOR object, check if you are using the method correctly.
  
  
  
  If you cannot change the BOR method:
  
  Review your Web Dynpro code or configuration where the BOR method is called.
  Ensure you are calling the method correctly, respecting its signature.
  If the method is not supposed to return a result, do not expect a results parameter in your Web Dynpro code.
  
  
  
  Regenerate or re-import the BOR object:
  
  Sometimes, inconsistencies occur if the BOR object is outdated.
  Regenerate the BOR object or re-import it if it is a custom object.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to message WD377 for any known issues or patches.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This error is common when integrating BOR methods into Web Dynpro applications.
  BOR methods are often used to encapsulate business logic in SAP.
  The "Results Parameter" is essential for Web Dynpro to bind the output of BOR methods to UI elements or context nodes.
  Always ensure that the BOR method signatures match the expectations of the calling Web Dynpro component.
