this is a link to the abuse report but there is no abuse contact information.

is this an error ?

no, it is not an error, as this network entry really didn't provide an abuse address. Heck, they really didn't provide an address at all:

No match!!

looking up the JP00010080 AS number (well, JP number, as it isn't really an AS number) I get:

[ JPNIC database provides information regarding IP address and ASN. Its use   ]

                                apply@iij.ad.jp

So nic-sec[at]iij.ad.jp would be the address to complain to, and I personally would add a comment to hostmaster[at]nic.ad.jp letting them know that the above entry has no abuse address listed and is spamming

I'm now seeing; Abuse contact for '202.236.0.0 - 202.239.255.255' is 'hostmaster@nic.ad.jp'

went one up on my previous (2 month old) post looking at it's /18 range:

SC itself still returns " No reporting addresses found for 202.238.198.169, using devnull for tracking. "
