• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB667 - Specify only the lower range limit ?

  The SAP error message DB667 ("Specify only the lower range limit") typically occurs in the context of database queries or selections where a range of values is expected. This error indicates that the system is expecting a lower limit for a range but has not been provided with an upper limit, or the input is not correctly formatted.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Input: The user may have entered a range in a way that the system does not recognize, such as providing only a lower limit without an upper limit.
  Field Configuration: The field in question may be configured to require both lower and upper limits for range selection.
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type of the input may not match the expected type, leading to confusion in range specification.
  User Error: The user may have misunderstood the input requirements for the selection criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input: Ensure that you are providing both a lower and an upper limit if the system requires it. If only a lower limit is needed, make sure that the upper limit is left blank or set to a default value that the system can interpret correctly.
  Review Field Requirements: Check the documentation or field settings to understand the expected input format. Some fields may require specific formats or both limits to be specified.
  Data Type Verification: Ensure that the values you are entering match the expected data types (e.g., numeric, date, etc.).
  Consult SAP Documentation: Look for specific documentation related to the transaction or report you are using to understand the expected input format.
