• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/TOOLS_CC018 - IT_SELECTION_PARAMETERS has initial "low" value ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/TOOLS_CC018 indicates that there is an issue with the selection parameters in a Business Object Framework (BOF) context. Specifically, the error message states that the IT_SELECTION_PARAMETERS has an initial "low" value, which means that the selection criteria for a query or operation are not properly defined.
  Cause:
  
  
  Initial Value: The error typically arises when the selection parameters (IT_SELECTION_PARAMETERS) are not populated correctly. This can happen if:
  
  The selection criteria are not provided when calling a method that requires them.
  The parameters are incorrectly initialized or set to an empty or default state.
  There is a logical error in the code that leads to the selection parameters not being filled.
  
  
  
  Data Model Issues: There may be issues with the underlying data model or the way the selection parameters are defined in the Business Object.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the Business Object or the associated data model can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Input Parameters: Ensure that the input parameters for the method or function module that is being called are correctly populated. Make sure that the selection criteria are being set before the method is executed.
  
  
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to trace the execution of the code and check the values of the selection parameters at runtime. This can help identify where the parameters are not being set correctly.
  
  
  Review Business Object Configuration: Check the configuration of the Business Object in the SAP system. Ensure that the selection parameters are defined correctly and that there are no inconsistencies in the data model.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to manage cases where selection parameters might be empty or not properly initialized. This can help prevent the error from occurring in the first place.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific Business Object and its methods to understand the expected input and output parameters.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
