Description

This error indicates that a built-in SQLScript function within SAP S/4HANA was called with a parameter that was expected to be a table name or a table variable, but received a different data type. It typically occurs during the execution or compilation of custom SQLScript procedures or views.

Error Message

ERR_SQLSCRIPT_BUILTIN_PARAM_NOT_TABLE_NAME

🔍

Known Causes

4 known causes

⚠️

Incorrect Parameter Type

A built-in SQLScript function received a scalar value, literal string, or an expression where a table name or table variable was expected.

⚠️

Typographical Error

The provided parameter intended to be a table name contains a misspelling or incorrect casing, preventing it from being recognized as a valid table.

⚠️

Non-Existent Table Reference

The specified table name does not exist in the current schema or the database, leading the system to interpret it as an invalid parameter.

⚠️

Scope or Declaration Issue

A table variable or parameter was not correctly declared or is not in scope for the SQLScript function call, causing it to be treated as a non-table type.

Solutions

3 solutions available

1. Correcting Invalid Table Name in SQL Script medium

Identify and rectify the incorrect parameter passed as a table name in a SQL script.

1

Locate the SQL script that is triggering error 1319. This is often found in custom ABAP programs, stored procedures, or CDS views.

2

Examine the script for any built-in SQL functions or procedures that expect a table name as a parameter.

3

Identify the specific parameter that is causing the error. It will likely be a variable or literal value that is not a valid database table name.

4

Replace the incorrect parameter with a valid table name. This might involve correcting a typo, using a variable that holds the correct table name, or ensuring the literal string is enclosed in quotes and represents an existing table.

Example: Incorrect - SELECT * FROM my_function('invalid_param'); Correct - SELECT * FROM my_function('MY_ACTUAL_TABLE');

5

If the parameter is a variable, ensure it is properly populated with a valid table name before being passed to the function or procedure.

Example in ABAP:
DATA lv_tablename TYPE tabname.

lv_tablename = 'MARA'. " Ensure this is a valid table name
CALL FUNCTION 'MY_FUNCTION' 
  EXPORTING 
    iv_table_name = lv_tablename.

6

Re-execute the SQL script or the program that calls it to verify the error is resolved.

2. Validating Table Name Parameters in ABAP Code medium

Ensure that ABAP code passing table names to SQL functions or procedures correctly validates and assigns table names.

1

Identify the ABAP program or function module that is calling a SQL statement or function which requires a table name as input.

2

Review the code where a table name is being passed as a parameter. This often occurs when using dynamic SQL or calling specific database-level functions.

3

Implement checks to ensure the value assigned to the table name parameter is indeed a valid table name. This can involve checking against a predefined list of allowed tables or using ABAP dictionary services.

Example ABAP:
DATA: lv_table_name TYPE tabname.
DATA: ls_dd02l TYPE dd02l.

" ... code to assign a potential table name to lv_table_name ...

IF lv_table_name IS INITIAL.
  MESSAGE 'Table name cannot be initial.' TYPE 'E'.
ELSE.
  SELECT SINGLE * FROM dd02l INTO ls_dd02l WHERE tabname = lv_table_name.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE |Table ''{ lv_table_name }'' not found in DDIC.| TYPE 'E'.
  ELSE.
    " Proceed with SQL execution using lv_table_name
  ENDIF.
ENDIF.

4

If the table name is dynamically constructed, ensure all parts of the name are correctly formed and that the final result is a valid table identifier.

5

Test the ABAP program thoroughly after making these validation checks.

3. Investigating System Tables and Views for Incorrect Usage advanced

Check for incorrect references to SAP S/4HANA system tables or views in custom code.

1

Utilize SAP's tools like the ABAP Debugger or SQL Trace (ST05) to pinpoint the exact SQL statement and the parameters being passed when error 1319 occurs.

2

When the problematic SQL statement is identified, analyze if it's attempting to use a system table or view name that is not correctly formatted or is being used in a context where a literal table name is expected.

3

Consult SAP's official documentation for the specific built-in function or procedure being called to understand its parameter requirements for table names.

4

In rare cases, the error might stem from a SAP Note that needs to be applied. Search SAP Support Portal for error 1319 and relevant keywords related to the context of the error.

5

If the issue persists and appears to be within standard SAP code, create an incident with SAP Support for further investigation.
