SAP S/4HANA Error 1349: Missing Constant Table Assignment
Description
This error indicates that a constant table variable in SAP HANA SQLScript was declared without an immediate initial value. Constant table variables must be assigned a value at the time of their declaration, either through a DEFAULT clause or a SELECT statement. It typically occurs during compilation or execution of SQLScript procedures or functions.
Error Message
ERR_SQLSCRIPT_INITIAL_ASSIGNMENT_REQUIRED_FOR_CONSTANT_TABLE
Known Causes
3 known causesUndeclared Initial Value
A constant table variable was declared in SQLScript without an immediate assignment of a value, which is mandatory for constants.
Incorrect Declaration Syntax
The syntax used to declare and initialize the constant table variable did not meet the specific requirements for constant declarations in SQLScript.
Misunderstanding Constant Scope
The developer might have confused constant table variables with regular table variables, which do not require immediate initialization.
Solutions
3 solutions available1. Assign Constant Table in SAP Customizing (SPRO) medium
Manually assign the missing constant table to its relevant entry in SAP's customizing tables.
1
Access the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) by executing transaction SPRO in your SAP GUI.
2
Navigate to the IMG path relevant to the SAP S/4HANA module or functionality that is triggering this error. The exact path will depend on the specific application component. Common areas include Logistics Execution, Financial Accounting, or Sales and Distribution.
SPRO3
Look for configuration nodes related to 'Constant Tables', 'Table Assignments', or 'Default Settings'. The error message 'ERR_SQLSCRIPT_INITIAL_ASSIGNMENT_REQUIRED_FOR_CONSTANT_TABLE' strongly suggests a missing link between a constant value and its assigned table.
Example IMG Path (Illustrative - actual path will vary):
SAP Reference IMG -> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Define Storage Type4
Within the relevant configuration node, identify the setting or entry where the constant table is expected. There should be a field or option to specify the table name. Enter the correct table name that should be associated with the constant.
Example: If the error relates to a specific warehouse management constant, you might need to assign a table for 'Storage Bin Types' or similar.5
Save your changes. SAP will prompt you to create a transport request for these changes. Ensure you assign them to an appropriate transport request for deployment across your landscape.
6
Test the functionality that previously resulted in error 1349 to confirm the issue is resolved.
2. Verify and Correct System-Specific Constant Table Assignments advanced
Check SAP Notes and system configurations for correct constant table assignments specific to your S/4HANA version and installed components.
1
Identify the specific SAP S/4HANA component or transaction that triggers error 1349. This information is crucial for finding relevant SAP Notes.
2
Search the SAP Support Portal (SAP ONE Support Launchpad) for SAP Notes related to 'Error 1349', 'ERR_SQLSCRIPT_INITIAL_ASSIGNMENT_REQUIRED_FOR_CONSTANT_TABLE', and the identified S/4HANA component or transaction. Look for notes that describe missing or incorrect constant table assignments.
3
If an SAP Note provides a correction or a specific configuration step, follow it meticulously. This might involve updating system parameters, running specific reports, or making manual adjustments in customizing.
4
If no specific SAP Note is found, investigate the underlying SQLScript or ABAP code that is failing. This requires developer privileges and understanding of SAP's internal workings. Use tools like the ABAP Debugger or SQL Trace to pinpoint the exact line of code and the missing table assignment.
5
Once the missing table is identified, use transaction SE16N or SE16 to examine the relevant customizing tables that define constant assignments. Look for inconsistencies or missing entries related to the error.
6
If a missing assignment is confirmed, you might need to manually create the entry. This is a high-risk operation and should only be performed after thorough analysis and testing in a non-production environment.
Example of inspecting a table (replace 'YOUR_CUSTOMIZING_TABLE' and 'YOUR_CONSTANT_KEY'):
SELECT * FROM YOUR_CUSTOMIZING_TABLE WHERE CONSTANT_KEY = 'YOUR_CONSTANT_KEY';7
If manual creation is required, consult with SAP support or experienced S/4HANA consultants to ensure the correct values are inserted.
8
After making any corrections, restart the relevant application services or the entire SAP instance if necessary, and re-test the functionality.
3. Reinitialize or Regenerate Configuration Tables advanced
In rare cases, configuration tables might be corrupted, requiring regeneration or reinitialization.
1
This is a drastic measure and should only be considered if other solutions fail and after consulting with SAP Support. It involves potentially resetting or regenerating certain configuration tables.
2
Identify the specific configuration tables that are suspected of being corrupted. This often requires deep analysis of system logs and potential involvement of SAP Support.
3
Refer to SAP Notes or direct guidance from SAP Support for specific reports or procedures to reinitialize or regenerate these tables. These procedures are highly system-dependent and can vary significantly.
4
Execute the provided SAP reports or tools in a controlled environment (e.g., development or quality system). Ensure you have backups and understand the implications of data loss or reset.
Example of a report name (illustrative - actual name will vary):
/SAINT/REGENERATE_CONFIG_TABLES (This is a hypothetical example)5
After the regeneration process, re-apply any necessary custom configurations that might have been lost. This is a critical step to restore system functionality.
6
Thoroughly test all related functionalities to ensure the error is resolved and no new issues have been introduced.
