SAP S/4HANA Error 2836: SQLScript Parameter Not Variable
Description
This error occurs in SAP S/4HANA when executing SQLScript code, typically within stored procedures or functions. It indicates that a built-in SQLScript function or procedure expects a variable as an input, output, or inout parameter, but a non-variable value (such as a literal, constant, or complex expression) was provided instead. This often prevents the built-in function from correctly processing or returning data.
Error Message
ERR_SQLSCRIPT_BUILTIN_PARAM_NOT_VARIABLE
Known Causes
3 known causesLiteral Value for Variable Parameter
A constant or literal value (e.g., a number, string, or boolean) was passed as a parameter to a built-in SQLScript function that specifically requires a variable.
Expression Instead of Variable
An expression, calculation, or function call was used as an output or inout parameter where the built-in function expects a direct, modifiable variable to assign its result.
Incorrect Variable Declaration or Scope
The parameter intended to be a variable was not properly declared within the SQLScript context or is out of its accessible scope, causing the system to treat it as a non-variable.
