How To Fix GR698 - A check indicator is selected in set &

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GR - Report Writer

• Message number: 698

• Message text: A check indicator is selected in set &

What causes this issue?

The indicator 'Form printout' is set in the layout parameters for the
report and a check indicator is at the same time set for the value &V2&
in set &V1&. Since the system processes records with zero values for
the form printout, this can give unexpected results, especially if the
assigned check exit validates the contents of fields that are not used
in the report.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the report gives the correct results and deactivate the
form printout, if necessary.
If you have used the check indicator to select debits and credits in
CO (table CCSS), you might not have to use the check indicator in the
set if you use a set for the field 'Debit/credit indicator' (BEKNZ)
in the report.
