SAP Note 13236 - Program termination in SAPF020 / SAPFF020

Symptom:

The program SAPF020 (delete transaction data before productive start) terminates in SAPFF020
Background: report SAPF020 calls up routines from SAPFF020. SAPFF020 is a dynamically generated report which has to be regenerated, if necessary.

Cause and prerequisites

SAPFF020 was not regenerated (for example, after the implementation of corrections such as those contained in Note 210593). The update date of SAPFF020 is newer than the update date of SAPF020.

Solution
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Force the generation of SAPFF020:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Call up Transaction SE38 and enter the report name SAPF020.
Have the system display the source code and search for
CHECK GENERATE EQ CHAR_X.
2) Set a break point in this line.
3) Run the program SAPF020 (the program stops on the break point).
4) In the debugger, set the value GENERATE to X. Then let the debugger
carry on running with "Continue" (key F8).
5) The report SAPFF020 is regenerated and SAPF020 runs simultaneously.
