  The SAP error message CV_ATTACHMENTS098 indicates that there is an issue with the parameters being passed to a function module or method related to handling attachments in SAP. Specifically, the error message suggests that you need to select either the parameter IV_DELETE_DIR or the table IT_FILE_ID but not both.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  Both parameters are being passed in a function call, which is not allowed.
  The logic in the program or function module is incorrectly set up to handle attachments, leading to a conflict between the two parameters.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Code: Check the code where the function module or method is being called. Ensure that you are only passing one of the two parameters:
  
  If you want to delete a directory, set IV_DELETE_DIR and do not pass IT_FILE_ID.
  If you want to work with specific file IDs, populate IT_FILE_ID and do not set IV_DELETE_DIR.
  
  
  
  Modify Logic: If the logic requires both parameters to be used in different scenarios, implement conditional checks to ensure that only one of them is set at a time.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the functionality to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the intended functionality works as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
