• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WER320 - *****321 - 339: RUNTIME ************************ ?

  The SAP error message **WER320 *321 - 339: RUNTIME ** is a generic runtime error message that typically indicates a problem occurred during the execution of an ABAP program or a system process. The exact cause and solution depend on the specific context and additional details provided in the short dump or system log.
  
  Understanding the Error Message
  
  Message Class: WER (usually related to Workbench or runtime errors)
  Message Number: 320 (or similar)
  Message Text: "RUNTIME ****" indicates a runtime error occurred.
  The numbers *****321 - 339 likely refer to a range of related messages or internal codes.
  
  
  Common Causes
  
  
  ABAP Runtime Errors:  
  
  Division by zero  
  Invalid data references (e.g., dereferencing a null pointer)  
  Arithmetic errors  
  Memory access violations  
  Type conflicts or conversion errors
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues:  
  
  Missing authorizations causing runtime exceptions.
  
  
  
  System Resource Problems:  
  
  Insufficient memory or buffer overflows.
  
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies:  
  
  Corrupt or inconsistent database entries accessed during runtime.
  
  
  
  Custom Code Errors:  
  
  Errors in user exits, BADIs, or custom programs.
  
  
  
  
  How to Diagnose
  
  
  Check the Short Dump (ST22):  
  
  Go to transaction ST22 and look for the runtime error dump corresponding to the time the error occurred.  
  The short dump will provide detailed information about the error type, program name, line number, and call stack.
  
  
  
  Review System Logs (SM21):  
  
  Check system logs for related error messages or warnings.
  
  
  
  Analyze the ABAP Code:  
  
  Identify the program and line number causing the error.  
  Review the code for possible runtime exceptions.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations (SU53):  
  
  If authorization is suspected, run transaction SU53 immediately after the error to see missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Memory and System Resources:  
  
  Use transactions like ST06, ST02, or ST03 to monitor system health.
  
  
  
  
  Possible Solutions
  
  
  Fix the ABAP Code:  
  
  Correct the logic causing the runtime error.  
  Add proper error handling and checks (e.g., check for zero before division).
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:  
  
  Grant missing authorizations if authorization errors are identified.
  
  
  
  Data Correction:  
  
  Fix inconsistent or corrupt data entries.
  
  
  
  System Tuning:  
  
  Increase memory parameters or optimize system resources.
  
  
  
  Apply SAP Notes:  
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to the error message or the program involved.
