dump analysis -CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL'

[Former Member]

hi all,

we are getting short dumps when processing credit memo requests creation to assign the deductions. (Assign Credit Memo function) .

the dump is as below:

An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.

The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not

caught in

procedure "CANCEL_FI" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.

Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the

exception would occur, the current program is terminated.

The reason for the exception is:

You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')

access a component.

An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)

before it can be used to access components.

Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the

CLEAR statement.

where this happened:

ermination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLFOAP_CDITEMS" - in "CANCEL_FI".

The main program was "SAPMV45A ".

In the source code you have the termination point in line 1003

of the (Include) program "LFOAP_CDITEMSF01".

The termination is caused because exception "CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL" occurred in

procedure "CANCEL_FI" "(FORM)", but it was neither handled locally nor declared

in the RAISING clause of its signature.

The procedure is in program "SAPLFOAP_CDITEMS "; its source code begins in line

950 of the (Include program "LFOAP_CDITEMSF01 ".

1001 gt_items_credit[] = gt_confirm_items_credit[].

1002 gt_items_debit[] = gt_confirm_items_debit[].

===== gt_items_assigned = gt_confirm_items_assigned[].

1004 gs_cditem = gs_confirm_cditem.

Any pointers on what is wrong and how to correct this??(i cannot debug as this is in production)

what could be the probable cause

thanks
