• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBMAN040 - I_TH_TABLESE and I_TH_INDEXSEL cannot both be filled at the same time ?

  The SAP error message DBMAN040 indicates that there is a conflict in the parameters being passed to a database operation. Specifically, the error message states that both I_TH_TABLESE and I_TH_INDEXSEL cannot be filled at the same time. This typically occurs in the context of database operations where the system is trying to execute a query or a data manipulation operation.
  Cause:
  The error arises when both I_TH_TABLESE (which is used to specify a selection of tables) and I_TH_INDEXSEL (which is used to specify a selection of indexes) are populated simultaneously in a database operation. This is not allowed because the system cannot determine which selection criteria to use for the operation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that only one of the two parameters is filled at any given time. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Review the Code: Check the code or the function module where this error is occurring. Look for the sections where I_TH_TABLESE and I_TH_INDEXSEL are being populated.
  
  
  Conditional Logic: Implement conditional logic to ensure that only one of the parameters is populated based on the requirements of your operation. For example:
  
  If you need to select tables, ensure that I_TH_INDEXSEL is cleared before populating I_TH_TABLESE.
  Conversely, if you need to select indexes, ensure that I_TH_TABLESE is cleared before populating I_TH_INDEXSEL.
  
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the functionality to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the desired operation completes successfully.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Function Modules: This error may occur in various function modules related to database operations, such as those used for data retrieval or manipulation.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. Sometimes, there may be specific fixes or recommendations provided by SAP.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific function module or method you are using to understand the expected input parameters and their constraints.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the DBMAN040 error and ensure that your database operations function correctly.
