• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BSP_DLC_CONFIG_API102 - Label column '&1' is not within the allowed range ?

  The SAP error message BSP_DLC_CONFIG_API102 with the description "Label column '&1' is not within the allowed range" typically occurs in the context of Business Server Pages (BSP) applications when there is an issue with the configuration of a label column in a BSP application.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Invalid Column Index: The label column specified in the configuration is outside the range of valid indices for the data being processed. For example, if you have a table with 5 columns, specifying a label column index of 5 or higher (or negative) would trigger this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the BSP application settings or in the underlying data model that defines the columns.
  Data Model Changes: If the underlying data model has changed (e.g., columns added or removed) and the BSP application has not been updated accordingly, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Column Index: Verify the index of the label column specified in your BSP application. Ensure that it is within the valid range of the columns defined in your data model. Remember that column indices are typically zero-based.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Go through the configuration settings of your BSP application. Look for any settings related to label columns and ensure they are correctly defined.
  
  
  Update Application: If there have been changes to the underlying data model (like adding or removing columns), update the BSP application to reflect these changes. This may involve modifying the code or configuration files.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider enabling debugging for the BSP application to get more detailed error messages or logs that can help identify the root cause.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for BSP applications to understand the expected configurations and constraints regarding label columns.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
