• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_MKTTG_PF_SEL_IS030 - Field "&3" contains the separator "&2" ?

  The SAP error message CRM_MKTTG_PF_SEL_IS030 indicates that there is an issue with a field in your selection criteria that contains a separator character, which is not allowed. This error typically arises in the context of SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) when working with marketing or campaign management functionalities.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when a field (denoted by &3 in the message) contains a separator character (denoted by &2). In SAP, certain fields are expected to contain values that do not include specific separator characters, as these characters are used to delineate multiple values or entries. If a separator is found within a single entry, it can lead to confusion in data processing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Identify the Field: Check the field mentioned in the error message (&3) to understand what data is being inputted.
  
  
  Remove the Separator: Look for the separator character (&2) in the data you are trying to input. This could be a comma, semicolon, or any other character that is used as a delimiter in SAP. Remove or replace this character from the field value.
  
  
  Validate Input: Ensure that the input data adheres to the expected format for that field. If the field is supposed to contain a single value, make sure it does not contain any separators.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, try to execute the operation again to see if the error persists.
