• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WUF080 - Parameter e_ok must be defined as an "Exporting" parameter ?

  The SAP error message WUF080 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a parameter in a function module or method. Specifically, it states that the parameter e_ok must be defined as an "Exporting" parameter. This typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming when defining function modules or methods in classes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The parameter e_ok is not correctly defined in the function module or method signature.
  The parameter is expected to be an exporting parameter (which means it is intended to return a value to the caller), but it is either not defined as such or is incorrectly defined as an importing or changing parameter.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the parameter e_ok is defined correctly in the function module or method. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Open the Function Module or Method: Go to the transaction SE37 (for function modules) or SE80 (for classes and methods).
  
  
  Check Parameter Definition:
  
  If you are in a function module, navigate to the "Import" and "Export" parameters section.
  If you are in a method, check the method signature in the class definition.
  
  
  
  Define e_ok as Exporting:
  
  Ensure that e_ok is listed under the "Exporting" parameters section.
  If it is not, you need to add it as an exporting parameter.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate: After making the necessary changes, save and activate the function module or method.
  
  
  Test the Changes: Execute the function module or method again to verify that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Exporting Parameters: In ABAP, exporting parameters are used to return values from a function module or method to the caller. They are defined in the function module interface and are prefixed with e_ to indicate that they are exporting.
  Function Module Interface: The interface of a function module can be viewed and modified in transaction SE37. It is important to ensure that all parameters are correctly defined according to their intended use.
  ABAP Documentation: For more detailed information on defining function modules and methods, refer to the official SAP ABAP documentation or the SAP Help Portal.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the WUF080 error and ensure that your function module or method works as intended.
