• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ080 - Parameters for report &1 cannot be read ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ080 - Parameters for report &1 cannot be read
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when SAP tries to retrieve the saved selection parameters (variant) for a report but fails to read them. The reasons can include:
  
  The variant for the report does not exist or has been deleted.
  The variant is corrupted or inconsistent.
  The user does not have authorization to read the variant.
  The variant is stored in a user-specific or client-specific area that is not accessible.
  The report name (&1) passed to the system is incorrect or the report is not available in the system.
  
  
  Explanation:
  SAP stores selection parameters for reports in variants. When a report is executed with a variant, SAP reads these parameters to pre-fill the selection screen. If SAP cannot find or read the variant, it issues this warning.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Variant Existence:
  
  Go to transaction SE38 or SA38.
  Enter the report name (the one mentioned in the error message).
  Click on Variants ? Display.
  Verify if the variant exists and is valid.
  
  
  
  Check Variant Authorization:
  
  Ensure the user has authorization to read the variant.
  Check authorization objects related to variants (e.g., S_VARIANT).
  
  
  
  Recreate or Repair Variant:
  
  If the variant is corrupted or missing, recreate it.
  Delete the problematic variant and create a new one with the correct parameters.
  
  
  
  Check Report Name:
  
  Verify that the report name passed to the system is correct.
  If the report was renamed or deleted, update the calling program or job accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Client and User Context:
  
  Variants can be client-specific or user-specific.
  Make sure you are logged into the correct client and user context where the variant exists.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the variant was transported from another system, ensure it was imported correctly.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction to manage variants: SE38, SA38, SHD0 (for screen variants)
  Authorization object: S_VARIANT (for variant management)
  SAP Note: Check SAP OSS notes for any known bugs related to variants and this message.
  Debugging: If needed, debug the report or the program that calls the report to see why the variant cannot be read.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  WZ080 indicates SAP cannot read the saved selection parameters (variant) for a report.
  Check variant existence, authorization, and correctness.
  Recreate or fix the variant if necessary.
  Verify report name and user/client context.
