• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS074 - Range option &1 is not supported for elements of type boolean (Pos &2) ?

  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS074 indicates that there is an issue with the use of a range option for a boolean data type in a field or expression. Specifically, the error states that the range option specified (denoted as &1) is not supported for elements of type boolean, and it provides the position of the error (denoted as &2).
  Cause:
  
  Boolean Data Type: In SAP, boolean fields can only have two possible values: true or false (or 1 and 0). Using a range option (like BETWEEN, IN, etc.) is not applicable to boolean values since they do not have a range of values.
  Incorrect Logic: The logic in the expression or condition may be incorrectly set up to treat a boolean field as if it can take on multiple values or ranges.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Expression: Check the expression or condition where the boolean field is being used. Ensure that you are not trying to apply a range operation to a boolean field.
  Use Direct Comparison: Instead of using a range, use direct comparisons. For example, if you are checking if a boolean field is true, use:
  
  field_name = true or field_name = 1
  If checking for false, use:
  field_name = false or field_name = 0
  
  
  Modify the Logic: If the logic requires checking multiple conditions, consider using logical operators (AND, OR) instead of range options.
  
  Related Information:

  By ensuring that boolean fields are handled correctly in your expressions, you can avoid this error and ensure that your logic functions as intended.
