  The SAP error message CDS_UNIT_MESSAGE011 indicates that there is an issue with the input type being used for a double value in a Core Data Services (CDS) view or query. This error typically arises when the input type does not match the expected format or type for a double value.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Input Type: The input type provided for the double value is not recognized or is incompatible. This could happen if the input is a string that cannot be converted to a double, or if it is in an incorrect format (e.g., using commas instead of periods for decimal points).
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type defined in the CDS view does not match the data type of the input being provided.

  Check Input Format: Ensure that the input value for the double is in the correct format. For example, use a period (.) as the decimal separator if the system expects it.
  Data Type Validation: Verify that the data types in your CDS view or query match the expected types. If you are passing parameters, ensure they are of the correct type.
  Locale Settings: Check the locale settings of your SAP system. If necessary, adjust the input to match the expected format based on the locale.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code or the CDS view definition, you can add debugging statements or logs to capture the input values being passed and identify where the mismatch occurs.
  Documentation Review: Review the SAP documentation for the specific CDS view or function module you are using to ensure you are adhering to the expected input types and formats.
