/BCV/QRM776 - Details

• The SAP error message /BCV/QRM776 Query &1: Wildcards are only allowed for operator 'Equal' (field &2) typically occurs when you are trying to use wildcards (like * or %) in a query or selection criteria for a field that does not support them. In SAP, wildcards are generally only allowed with the "Equal" operator, meaning you can only use them when you are checking for equality.
  
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Operator: You are using a wildcard with an operator that does not support it (e.g., Not Equal, Greater Than, Less Than, etc.).
  Field Restrictions: The specific field you are querying may have restrictions on the use of wildcards, and it only allows them with the "Equal" operator.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change the Operator: If you are using a wildcard, ensure that you are using the "Equal" operator. For example, instead of using Not Equal or Greater Than, switch to Equal if you want to use wildcards.
  Example:
  
  Instead of Field <>
