How To Fix DB770 - Selection criterion "&1" contains an invalid selection line

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DB - Messages for logical databases and background processing

• Message number: 770

• Message text: Selection criterion "&1" contains an invalid selection line

What causes this issue?

Although selections exist for the selection criterion "&V1&", they can
be processed neither on the selection screen nor on the 'Multiple
selection' screen because of restrictions in the application program.
The line in question has the sign "&V2&" (field SIGN) which is not
allowed on the main selection screen. Since a range selection (OPTION
"&V3&") is involved here and the HIGH field was suppressed from the
main selection screen, this line cannot be displayed on the 'Multiple
selection' screen either.
There is probably an error in the application program.

System Response

The processing had to be terminated.
