CALL_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND in transaction SPAM

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have recently installed SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.3 EHP 1 with HANA as the database.

When we execute transaction SPAM in the server we get the following dump.

Category               ABAP Programming Error

Runtime Errors         CALL_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND

Except.                CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FUNC

ABAP Program           SDB1FHDB

Application Component  BC-TRX

Date and Time          08.01.2013 00:42:22

Short text

     Function module "SHDB_EXISTS_TABLE" not found.

What happened?

     The function module "SHDB_EXISTS_TABLE" is called,

     but cannot be found in the library.

     Error in the ABAP Application Program

     The current ABAP program "SDB1FHDB" 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_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FUNC', was

      not caught in

     procedure "EXISTS_TABLE" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING 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:

     The program "SDB1FHDB" contains the CALL FUNCTION statement.

     The name of the function module to be called is "SHDB_EXISTS_TABLE".

     No function module exists with the name "SHDB_EXISTS_TABLE".

     All function modules are listed in the Function Library (SE37).

The functional module SHDB_EXISTS_TABLE exists in system but when we do syntax check for the module via se37 it gives the error

The program "SAPLSHDB_SYSCAT" is not Unicode-compatible, according to

its program attributes.

Is there a set of SAP Notes which we need to implement after the system is installed. If yes where can i get the list.

What is your Support Package level? Usually when installing new systems, it makes sense to also install the latest (or latest - 1) SPs. See if SAP note 1656661 is relevant for you.

Hi,

We are 731 SP0(Initial Shipment Stack) . Yes I agree we should install latest (or latest - 1) SPs but the problem we are facing is transaction SPAM is giving a dump.

Yes i have tried and implemented that note to no success.

Please send screenshots of System -> Status and the two subscreens in there (Component information, other kernel info). Was the installation succesful or did you run into problems, for example in the import phase?

HI,

Please find the required screen shots.

No we didn't face any error during  import phase of the installation.

You missed one screenshot, the one with the release version, installation number, etc.

Looks ok, I just wanted to make sure you are using a Unicode kernel.

1) I guess you didn't use Material number 51042348 when installing the system since you are on SP0. See SAP note 1806719 for details.

2) I think you should have at least NW731 SP2, preferably NW731 SP4. You could reinstall the system either by using Material number 51042348 or including at least SP2 in the installation. See SAP note 1644214 for details. You could also try to implement SAP note 1644214 and related notes to see if it helps.

3) SAP actually recommends to use NW731 SP5. See SAP note 1769670 for details.

Hi,

As per your suggestion i re installed the system with Material number 51042348 export. Now we came on SP03 and there was no issue in system.

Thanks a lot Samuli..!!!
