• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BW_BICS_EQ114 - Select parameter supports only one argument with or without the text ?

  The SAP error message BW_BICS_EQ114 indicates that there is an issue with the selection parameters in a BEx query or when using the BICS (Business Intelligence Consumer Services) interface. Specifically, this error occurs when a selection parameter is expected to have only one argument, but multiple arguments are provided.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Multiple Values Provided: The selection parameter is configured to accept only a single value, but the user or the query is attempting to pass multiple values.
  Incorrect Query Design: The BEx query might be designed in a way that does not align with the expected input for the selection parameter.
  Incorrect Usage in Code: If you are using ABAP or another programming language to call the BICS interface, the code may be incorrectly passing multiple arguments to a parameter that only supports one.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BW_BICS_EQ114 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Selection Parameters:
  
  Review the selection parameters in your BEx query. Ensure that any parameter that is supposed to accept a single value is not being passed multiple values.
  If you need to filter by multiple values, consider using a different parameter that supports multiple selections or adjust the logic to handle multiple values correctly.
  
  
  
  Modify Query Design:
  
  If you have control over the BEx query design, modify the query to allow for multiple selections if that is the intended functionality.
  Alternatively, create separate queries for different values if the logic requires distinct handling.
  
  
  
  Review Code Implementation:
  
  If you are using custom code to call the BICS interface, review the code to ensure that it adheres to the expected input format for the selection parameters.
  Ensure that you are not inadvertently passing an array or list of values where a single value is expected.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the query or the code to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the expected results are returned.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BEx Query Designer: Familiarize yourself with the BEx Query Designer to understand how to configure selection parameters properly.
