SAP S/4HANA Error 1325: Invalid SQLScript Identifier Vector
Description
This error occurs when a parameter passed to a SQLScript built-in function or procedure is expected to be a vector (list) of valid SQL identifiers but is not. It indicates that the input does not conform to the required data type or contains elements that are not recognized as legitimate SQL identifiers.
Error Message
ERR_SQLSCRIPT_BUILTIN_PARAM_NOT_SQLIDENT_VECTOR
Known Causes
3 known causesMismatched Parameter Type
A parameter was provided that is not structured as a vector or list, or its elements are not valid SQL identifiers as required by the function.
Invalid Identifier Elements
The vector supplied contains values that are not legitimate SQL identifiers, such as numbers, special characters, or incorrectly used reserved keywords.
Incorrect SQLScript Syntax
The SQLScript code calling the built-in function or procedure has a syntax error, causing the parameter to be parsed incorrectly.
Solutions
3 solutions available1. Correct Built-in Function Parameter Type medium
Ensures built-in function parameters are correctly typed as SQL identifiers.
1
Identify the SQLScript procedure or function that is causing the error. This often involves reviewing recent code changes or logs that point to a specific database object.
2
Examine the parameters of any built-in SQLScript functions being used within the identified procedure or function. The error message 'ERR_SQLSCRIPT_BUILTIN_PARAM_NOT_SQLIDENT_VECTOR' indicates that a parameter expected to be an SQL identifier (like a table name or column name) is not being passed correctly.
3
Modify the code to ensure that parameters intended for SQL identifier contexts are passed as strings or are properly cast to a type that represents an SQL identifier. For example, if you are dynamically building a query and passing a table name as a variable, ensure that variable is treated as a string literal in the context of the function call.
Example of incorrect usage:
CREATE PROCEDURE my_proc (IN in_table_name VARCHAR(100))
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM my_function(in_table_name);
END;
Example of corrected usage (assuming my_function expects a string literal for the table name):
CREATE PROCEDURE my_proc (IN in_table_name VARCHAR(100))
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM my_function(CAST(in_table_name AS NVARCHAR(100))); -- Or ensure 'in_table_name' is handled as a string literal.
END;4
Recompile the SQLScript procedure or function after making the necessary corrections.
ALTER PROCEDURE my_proc RECOMPILE;
ALTER FUNCTION my_func RECOMPILE;5
Test the affected functionality thoroughly to confirm the error is resolved.
2. Review and Clean Up Dynamic SQL Statements advanced
Addresses issues with dynamic SQL where identifiers might be incorrectly formatted or passed.
1
Locate all dynamic SQL statements within your S/4HANA system, particularly those that involve constructing SQL statements programmatically (e.g., using `EXECUTE IMMEDIATE` or similar constructs in ABAP or SQLScript).
2
Carefully inspect how table names, column names, schema names, and other SQL identifiers are being generated and passed to built-in functions or used within the dynamic SQL. The error suggests that one of these identifiers is not being recognized as a valid SQL identifier vector.
3
Ensure that any variables or parameters used to represent SQL identifiers are properly quoted and escaped if necessary. For instance, if a table name contains special characters or is a reserved keyword, it needs to be enclosed in double quotes.
Example of dynamic SQL construction:
DECLARE sql_stmt NVARCHAR(2000);
DECLARE table_name VARCHAR(100) := 'my_table';
sql_stmt := 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' || table_name;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_stmt;
If 'my_table' was intended as a literal for a function expecting an identifier vector, the above might fail. Consider:
sql_stmt := 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' || quote(table_name); -- If quote() function is available and suitable.
-- Or ensure the function call is direct if not using dynamic SQL for identifiers:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM my_function(table_name); -- If my_function expects a parameter that is the table name itself, and it's not a dynamic SQL construct issue.
4
Pay close attention to how parameters are passed to built-in SQLScript functions that might have strict requirements for identifier types. The error specifically mentions 'SQLIDENT_VECTOR', implying a need for a specific structure or type for identifiers.
5
If the dynamic SQL is generated from ABAP, review the ABAP code responsible for preparing and executing the SQL. Ensure that data types and variable assignments are correct, especially when dealing with database objects.
6
Test the dynamic SQL execution thoroughly in a development or test environment before deploying to production.
3. Verify System and Database Configuration medium
Checks for potential system-wide issues affecting SQL identifier handling.
1
Check the SAP S/4HANA kernel and database (SAP HANA) version. Ensure that you are on a supported and stable release. Sometimes, older versions might have known issues with specific SQLScript constructs.
2
Review SAP Notes related to the error code `1325` and the message `ERR_SQLSCRIPT_BUILTIN_PARAM_NOT_SQLIDENT_VECTOR`. SAP frequently releases notes to address specific bugs or provide workarounds.
Search on SAP Support Portal (launchpad.support.sap.com) for 'S/4HANA 1325' or 'HANA ERR_SQLSCRIPT_BUILTIN_PARAM_NOT_SQLIDENT_VECTOR'.3
If the error occurs during a specific SAP transaction or process, investigate if any custom enhancements (user exits, BAdIs, custom reports) are interacting with database objects in an unsupported way. This might involve tracing the execution flow.
4
Consider if any recent database updates or patches have been applied. If so, check their release notes for any changes that might impact SQLScript behavior.
5
If the issue persists and seems system-wide, engage SAP Support with detailed information about the error, the context in which it occurs, and any troubleshooting steps already taken.
