Exception CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL

Date and Time 08/24/2010 09:27:49

Short text

Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.

What happened?

Error in the ABAP Application Program

The current ABAP program "/1BCWDY/FQAYVDRAIPMJEC16CE0U==CP" had to be

terminated because it has

come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.

Error analysis

An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.

The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not

caught in

procedure "PREPARE_NAVIGATION" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISIN

clause.

Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the

exception would occur, the current program is terminated.

The reason for the exception is:

You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')

access a component.

An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)

before it can be used to access components.

Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the

CLEAR statement.

Hello,

have a search for messages which refer to "CL_HRHAP00_STARTPG_POWL"

this issue is fairly common. It is caused by missing data/configuration for the performance process.

You can place a breakpoint in the various method of the POWL feeder class CL_HRHAP00_STARTPG_POWL (which is what you application is calling) and you will see that it is within this that the error is generated, and hopefully will be able to see what data/configuration you need to maintain to stop it from happening!

Good luck,

Chris
