• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DH142 - Non-Boolean value & in & of search help parameter & ?

  The SAP error message DH142, which states "Non-Boolean value & in & of search help parameter &," typically occurs when a search help parameter is expected to be a Boolean value (i.e., true or false) but receives a non-Boolean value instead. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when using search helps in selection screens or when calling search helps programmatically.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Parameter Type: The search help is defined to expect a Boolean value, but the value being passed is not of the correct type (e.g., a string or numeric value).
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type of the field in the database or the structure does not match the expected Boolean type.
  Custom Code Issues: If there is custom code that manipulates the search help parameters, it may inadvertently pass incorrect values.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Search Help Definition: Review the definition of the search help in transaction SE11 or SE80. Ensure that the parameters are correctly defined and that the expected data types match the values being passed.
  Parameter Mapping: If you are using a custom program or report, ensure that the parameters being passed to the search help are correctly mapped and are of the expected type.
  Debugging: If the error occurs in a custom program, use the debugger to trace the values being passed to the search help. Check for any transformations or assignments that may lead to a non-Boolean value.
  Review Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the fields in the database or structures are compatible with the expected Boolean values.
  Consult Documentation: If you are using standard SAP search helps, refer to the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific search help for any known issues or updates.
