• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLREP005 - Parameter &1 of parameter type &2 is not a Boolean value (true or false) ?

  The SAP error message FRMLREP005 indicates that a parameter in a formula or report is expected to be a Boolean value (true or false), but the value provided does not meet this requirement. This error typically arises in the context of SAP applications that involve reporting or formula calculations, such as SAP Crystal Reports or SAP BusinessObjects.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Parameter Type: The parameter defined in the report or formula is expected to be of Boolean type, but it has been assigned a value that is not Boolean (e.g., a string, number, or null).
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type of the parameter being passed does not match the expected data type defined in the report or formula.
  Formula Logic Error: There may be a logical error in the formula where a non-Boolean expression is being evaluated as a Boolean.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Parameter Definition: Review the parameter definition in the report or formula to ensure that it is correctly set as a Boolean type.
  Validate Input Values: Ensure that the values being passed to the parameter are indeed Boolean (i.e., true or false). If the parameter is being populated from a data source, check the data type in the source.
  Modify Formula Logic: If the error arises from a formula, review the logic to ensure that all expressions evaluate to a Boolean value. You may need to use comparison operators (e.g., =, <>, >, <) to ensure the result is Boolean.
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the issue lies, you can add debugging statements or temporary output to identify the value being passed to the parameter.
  
  Related Information:
