• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_SEARCH224 - Value &1 is invalid for a "boolean" datatype ?

  The SAP error message ESH_SEARCH224 indicates that there is an issue with a value being passed to a field that expects a boolean datatype. In SAP, a boolean datatype typically accepts only two values: true or false, or their equivalent representations (like 1 for true and 0 for false). If a value other than these is provided, the system will throw this error.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by one of the following:
  
  Invalid Input Value: The value being passed to the boolean field is not recognized as a valid boolean value. For example, it could be a string like "yes" or "no", or a number other than 0 or 1.
  Data Mapping Issues: If data is being mapped from one system to another (e.g., during an integration), the mapping might not correctly convert the values to the expected boolean format.
  User Input Error: If the value is being entered by a user, they may have entered an invalid value.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ESH_SEARCH224 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Input Values: Review the values being passed to the boolean field. Ensure that they are either true/false or 1/0.
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks in your application or process to ensure that only valid boolean values are accepted before they are sent to the SAP system.
  Mapping Configuration: If the error arises from data integration, check the mapping configuration to ensure that boolean values are correctly converted.
  User Training: If users are entering values manually, provide training or guidelines on acceptable input formats for boolean fields.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for documentation on data types and their valid values.
  Debugging: If you have access to the SAP system, you can use transaction codes like SE80 or SE37 to debug the function module or program that is generating the error.
  Community Forums: Check SAP Community forums or other technical forums for similar issues and solutions shared by other users.
  
  By ensuring that only valid boolean values are used, you can prevent this error from occurring in the future.
