SAP Note 27184 - Exception condition "INVALID_PA_TYPE" raised

Symptom:

When you execute a report from Release 2.1 or 2.2, you get a dump with the message "INVALID_PA_TYPE".
When you execute form reports which have already been converted, you get an abend with the message KH125.

Cause and prerequisites

1.) Program error, PA_TYPE is not set.
2.) You still cannot execute form reports after correction 1.) because all the forms (row/column structures) from Releases 2.1 and 2.2 are empty in 3.0 (FCS) (due to a transport error).

Solution
1.) Insert the correction below.
2.) (i) Insert note 25284
(ii) Transport the forms from Release 2.2 again (see part I of note 24342).
(iii) Call up XPRAS COXMKE53.
(iv) Regenerate the reports in Release 3.0: Transadtion KEMO, start the report by using the function "Regenerate".
The problem no longer occurs in Release 3.0A.
