Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AMDP_DBG202 - Only SELECT statement allowed in console. ?

  The error message "AMDP_DBG202 Only SELECT statement allowed in console" in SAP typically occurs when you are trying to execute a non-SELECT SQL statement (like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, etc.) in the ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP) console. The AMDP console is designed to execute only SELECT statements for debugging purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect SQL Statement: You are trying to run an SQL statement that is not a SELECT statement in the AMDP console.
  Debugging Context: The AMDP console is primarily for debugging and testing SELECT queries, and it does not support DML (Data Manipulation Language) operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use SELECT Statements: Ensure that the SQL statement you are trying to execute is a SELECT statement. If you need to test other types of SQL statements, you will need to do so in a different environment, such as the ABAP editor or a database management tool.
  
  
  Testing in ABAP: If you need to test INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements, consider writing a small ABAP program or using the ABAP editor (SE38 or SE80) to execute your code.
  
  
  Use AMDP for SELECT: If you are debugging an AMDP method, ensure that the method you are testing is designed to return data using a SELECT statement.
  
  
  Related Information:
