• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DH132 - Non-Boolean value & in HIDEFLAG of the included search help & ?

  The SAP error message DH132, which indicates a "Non-Boolean value & in HIDEFLAG of the included search help &," typically arises when there is an issue with the configuration of a search help in the SAP system. This error is related to the use of the HIDEFLAG parameter in the search help definition, which is expected to be a Boolean value (i.e., either 'X' for true or blank for false).
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect HIDEFLAG Value: The HIDEFLAG parameter in the search help definition is set to a value that is not recognized as a Boolean (e.g., a numeric value or a string that is not 'X').
  Search Help Configuration: There may be an issue in the way the search help is configured, particularly if it includes other search helps or if it has been modified incorrectly.
  Inclusion of Search Helps: If the search help includes other search helps, the HIDEFLAG of those included search helps may also be incorrectly set.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check HIDEFLAG Values: Review the search help definition in transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator). Ensure that the HIDEFLAG is set to either 'X' (to hide the field) or left blank (to show the field).
  Review Included Search Helps: If the search help includes other search helps, check their HIDEFLAG settings as well. Make sure they are also set correctly.
  Adjust Search Help Configuration: If you find any incorrect settings, modify them to ensure that all HIDEFLAG values are Boolean.
  Transport Changes: If changes are made in a development environment, ensure that they are transported to the appropriate environments (e.g., quality assurance, production) after testing.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the search help to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 to view and edit search helps, and SE80 for a broader view of objects.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on search help configuration and the use of HIDEFLAG.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on this error.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or ABAP development team for further assistance, as they may need to investigate deeper into the configuration or code related to the search help.
