• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB757 - You must specify an interval with this selection criterion ?

  The SAP error message DB757, which states "You must specify an interval with this selection criterion," typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a database-related operation (such as a report or transaction) that requires a specific range or interval of data, but the necessary parameters have not been provided.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Interval Parameters: The user has not specified the required start and end values for a selection criterion that expects an interval.
  Incorrect Input: The input fields for the selection criteria may be left blank or incorrectly filled.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the report or transaction that requires an interval but does not enforce it correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DB757 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Input Fields: Ensure that all required fields for the selection criteria are filled out correctly. Specifically, look for fields that require a range (e.g., date ranges, numerical ranges) and make sure both the lower and upper limits are specified.
  
  
  Specify an Interval: If the selection criterion requires an interval, make sure to provide both the start and end values. For example, if you are filtering by date, ensure you have both a start date and an end date.
  
  
  Review Documentation: If you are unsure about the required fields, refer to the documentation for the specific report or transaction you are using. This can provide guidance on what inputs are necessary.
  
  
  Consult with Technical Support: If you have verified that you are providing the correct inputs and the error persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP technical support team. They can help identify if there are any underlying issues with the configuration or the specific transaction.
  
  
  Test with Different Criteria: Sometimes, testing the report or transaction with different selection criteria can help identify if the issue is specific to certain inputs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes related to the operation you are performing, as they may have specific requirements.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to execute the transaction or report, as sometimes restrictions can lead to unexpected errors.
