• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS229 - Used view & with parameters: Only scalars or columns can be bound ?

  The SAP error message DDLS229 indicates that there is an issue with the way parameters are being used in a view or a database operation. Specifically, the error states that only scalar values or columns can be bound to the parameters in the context of the operation being performed. This typically occurs when a non-scalar value (like a table or a complex structure) is being passed where a scalar value (like a single integer, string, or date) is expected.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Parameter Type: The most common cause of this error is that the parameters being passed to the view or function are not of the expected type. For example, if a table or a structure is being passed instead of a single value.
  View Definition Issues: The view might be defined in such a way that it expects scalar values, but the calling program or SQL statement is providing a non-scalar value.
  Data Type Mismatch: There may be a mismatch between the data types of the parameters defined in the view and the actual values being passed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Parameter Types: Review the parameters defined in the view or function and ensure that the values being passed are scalar types (e.g., single values like integers or strings).
  Modify the Calling Code: If you are calling the view or function from ABAP or SQL, ensure that you are passing the correct types. For example, if the view expects a single integer, make sure you are not passing a table or a structure.
  Review View Definition: If you have access to the view definition, check if it is correctly defined to accept the parameters you are trying to pass. You may need to adjust the view definition if it is incorrectly set up.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the values being passed to the view or function. This can help identify where the non-scalar value is coming from.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on views and parameter handling.
  ABAP Development: If you are working with ABAP, check the syntax and data types in your code. Use the ABAP debugger to inspect variable types and values.
  Community Forums: Consider checking SAP Community forums or Stack Overflow for similar issues faced by other developers, as they may provide additional insights or solutions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the DDLS229 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
