• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB267 - The logical database used does not support dynamic selections ?

  The SAP error message DB267 indicates that the logical database you are using does not support dynamic selections. This typically occurs when you are trying to use dynamic selections in a report that is based on a logical database that does not allow for this feature.
  Cause:
  
  Logical Database Limitation: The logical database you are using (e.g., PNP, PCH, etc.) does not support dynamic selections. Dynamic selections allow users to specify selection criteria at runtime, but not all logical databases are designed to handle this.
  Report Configuration: The report may be configured to use dynamic selections, but the underlying logical database does not have the necessary coding to support this feature.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change the Logical Database: If possible, switch to a different logical database that supports dynamic selections. For example, if you are using a logical database that does not support dynamic selections, consider using one that does.
  Modify the Report: If changing the logical database is not an option, you may need to modify the report to remove the dynamic selection feature. This can be done by:
  
  Editing the report in the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38 or SE80).
  Removing or commenting out the code that handles dynamic selections.
  
  
  Use Selection Screens: Instead of dynamic selections, you can create a selection screen that allows users to input their selection criteria before executing the report.
  Consult Documentation: Check the SAP documentation for the specific logical database you are using to understand its capabilities and limitations regarding dynamic selections.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Logical Databases: Logical databases in SAP are predefined structures that provide a way to access data from the database. They encapsulate the data retrieval logic and can simplify report development.
  Dynamic Selections: Dynamic selections allow users to specify additional selection criteria at runtime, enhancing the flexibility of reports.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches related to the logical database you are using, as there may be enhancements or fixes that address this issue.
