SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 773

• 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 a range selection (OPTION "&V2&"). Since the
HIGH field was suppressed from the main selection screen, this line can
be displayed neither on the main selection screen nor on the 'Multiple
selection' screen either.
There is probably an error in the application program.
