SAP Knowledge Base Article - PublicSymptom
You are executing some steps on the UI (Edit, Save, Create, Delete or Custom Action) and you receive the error message:
"Importing parameter PARAM is initial" or "Invalid importing parameter PARAM"
"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."
Environment
- SAP Cloud Application Studio
- SAP Cloud for Customer
- SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
Prerequisites:
- You have created a Solution in the Cloud Application Studio.
- You have created a Custom Business Object or Extension Business Object.
- You have created a Script File for your Business Object.
Cause
You are using SAP Built-In Functions in your custom script where one or more of the importing parameters have not been given a value. For example, for cdate = this.ADate.Delta(this.BDate, true), the Error Message "Importing parameter DATE2 is initial" tells us that this.BDate is initial.
Resolution
- Perform a trace in the Cloud Application Studio to see what custom scripts are being called.
- Debug the scripts and check for Built-In Functions used in the code.
- If you have corrected all importing parameters for the Built-In Functions and the error is still raised, please open an incident with SAP Product Support.
See Also
Check section SAP Built-In Functions Reference in the SAP Cloud Application Studio Documentation. There you can see all supported Built-In Functions and the required parameters.
