• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS001 - Invalid input value: &1 = &2 ?

  The SAP error message DDLS001 with the description "Invalid input value: &1 = &2" typically indicates that there is an issue with the input values being provided to a Data Definition Language (DDL) statement or a related operation in the SAP system. The placeholders &1 and &2 will be replaced with specific field names and their corresponding invalid values when the error occurs.
  Cause:
