• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCCX_MSG011 - Report parameter &1 is not of type 'select-option' ?

  The SAP error message FCCX_MSG011 indicates that a report parameter is expected to be of type 'select-option', but it is not. This typically occurs in the context of SAP reports or programs that utilize selection screens for user input.
  Cause:
  
  Parameter Type Mismatch: The report is designed to accept a selection option (which allows for ranges and multiple values), but the parameter defined in the report is of a different type (e.g., a single value parameter).
  Incorrect Definition: The parameter may have been incorrectly defined in the report's selection screen logic, leading to this mismatch.
  Program Logic Error: There may be a logical error in the program where the parameter is being processed, expecting a select-option type but receiving a different type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Parameter Definition: Review the report's code to ensure that the parameter in question is defined as a select-option. This can be done in the ABAP code where the selection screen is defined. For example:
  SELECT-OPTIONS: so_field FOR fieldname.
  Ensure that the parameter is defined using SELECT-OPTIONS instead of PARAMETER.
  
  
  Modify the Report: If the parameter is indeed supposed to be a select-option, modify the report to define it correctly. If it should remain a single value parameter, then adjust the logic that processes this parameter to handle it correctly.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the report to ensure that it runs without errors and that the parameters behave as expected.
  
  
  Documentation: If you are working in a team or on a shared codebase, document the changes made to avoid confusion in the future.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or ABAP documentation for more details on defining selection screens and parameters.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the report execution to see where the parameter is being processed incorrectly.
  Community Forums: Check SAP Community or other forums for similar issues and solutions shared by other developers.
  
  By addressing the parameter type mismatch and ensuring that the report is correctly defined, you should be able to resolve the FCCX_MSG011 error.
