• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/TOOLS_CC072 - Value of (&1) is not uppercase ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/TOOLS_CC072 Value of (&1) is not uppercase typically occurs in the context of Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) when a value that is expected to be in uppercase is not. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when validating input data for fields that are case-sensitive.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when a value that is supposed to be in uppercase (as per the business logic or data model) is provided in a different case (lowercase or mixed case). This is often related to fields that are defined to accept only uppercase values, such as certain codes or identifiers.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Input Values: Review the input values being processed. Ensure that any values that are expected to be in uppercase are indeed provided in uppercase.
  
  
  Modify Input Data: If you are manually entering data, make sure to enter it in uppercase. If the data is coming from an external source (like an interface or file), ensure that the data is transformed to uppercase before it is processed.
  
  
  Adjust Code Logic: If you are developing or maintaining custom code, you may want to add logic to convert the input values to uppercase before they are processed. This can be done using string manipulation functions available in ABAP.
  Example in ABAP:
  DATA(lv_value) = 'someValue'.
  lv_value = to_upper( lv_value ).
  
  
  Check BOPF Configuration: If you are working with BOPF, check the configuration of the business object to see if there are any specific validations or constraints that enforce uppercase values. You may need to adjust these settings if they are too restrictive.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the functionality to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOPF Documentation: Review the SAP documentation on BOPF to understand how it handles data validation and the implications of case sensitivity.
  Data Model: Check the data model associated with the business object to see if there are any specific requirements for field values.
  SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this issue or provide additional guidance.
