Invalid argument 4.7

prince_isaac — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 09:16:49 GMT

My client is using SAP 4.7 and i am trying to write reports however it seems everytime i type the below code the editor displays a message "An invalid argument has occured" this freezes my page and ultimately kills all my other opened sessions.

In an attempt to circumvent this error i typed the code on word and pasted it immediately the error is shown and i get stuck again.

What could be causing this?


*selection screen
selection-screen begin of block vendor with frame title text-001.
select-options: s_lifnr   for it_ref_list-lifnr obligatory,
                s_bldat   for it_ref_list-bldat obligatory,
                s_belnr   for it_ref_list-belnr.
parameters:     p_ccode   type bukrs default '1100'.
selection-screen end of block vendor.

Since i've never encountered something like this before (esp. the closing of all open windows) my initial thought is to check your SAPGUI version and perhaps update it.

Donot refer it to it_ref_list-lifnr. If its decalred with header line then no problem will be there. Without header line it will show a syntax error.

Anyways Change it like this


data:wf_lifnr type lfa1-lifnr,
     wf_bldat type bkpf-bldat,
     wf_belnr type bkpf-belnr.

selection-screen begin of block vendor with frame title text-001.
select-options: s_lifnr   for wf_lifnr obligatory,
                s_bldat   for wf_bldat obligatory,
                s_belnr   for wf_belnr.
parameters:     p_ccode   type bukrs default '1100'.
selection-screen end of block vendor.

Hi,

I also had the same issue. But when I changed to editor to old (Settings - > editor), the issue got resolved.

But what could be the real reason ?
