• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G0287 - Starting of custom task &1 with selection screen not supported ?

  The SAP error message G0287, which states "Starting of custom task &1 with selection screen not supported," typically occurs when you attempt to execute a custom task or program that is not designed to be run with a selection screen in the SAP environment. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when using transaction codes or custom programs that do not have the necessary configuration to display a selection screen.
  Cause:
  
  Custom Task Configuration: The custom task (program or report) may not be properly configured to support a selection screen. This can happen if the program does not have the necessary coding to handle selection screen parameters.
  Transaction Code Issues: If you are trying to execute a transaction code that is linked to a custom program, the transaction may not be set up correctly to allow for a selection screen.
  Program Type: The program might be defined as a background job or a report that does not require user input via a selection screen.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Program Code: Review the ABAP code of the custom task to ensure that it includes the necessary logic to handle a selection screen. This includes defining the selection screen using the SELECT-OPTIONS or PARAMETERS statements.
  Transaction Code Configuration: If you are using a transaction code, check the configuration in transaction SE93 (Transaction Codes) to ensure that it is correctly linked to the custom program and that it allows for a selection screen.
  Modify Program Attributes: If the program is intended to be executed with a selection screen, ensure that it is defined as a report program and not as a background job or a different type of executable.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the program again to see if the error persists.
  
  Related Information:
