  The SAP error message /BCV/QRM717 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a query in the SAP system, specifically related to the "Fill mode" for a result field in a query. The error message states that the "Search Connector" fill mode is not reasonable for the specified result field.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Fill Mode: The "Search Connector" fill mode is likely being used for a result field that does not support it. This can happen if the field is not designed to handle search operations or if it is not compatible with the data type or structure of the field.

  Solution:
  
  Check Field Compatibility: Review the result field configuration in the query definition. Ensure that the field is compatible with the "Search Connector" fill mode. If it is not, consider changing the fill mode to one that is appropriate for the field.
  Modify Query Definition: If the field is not suitable for the "Search Connector," you may need to modify the query definition to either remove the field or change its fill mode to a more appropriate option.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific fill modes available for different types of fields and how to configure them correctly.
