  The SAP error message GS032 ("Enter an operand between ' and '") typically occurs in the context of SAP when a user is trying to execute a query or a report that requires a range of values, but the input is incomplete or incorrectly formatted.

  Check Input Fields: Review the input fields in the query or report to ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly.
  Correct Formatting: Ensure that the values are enclosed in single quotes where necessary and that the format matches the expected input type.

  Review Logical Conditions: If using logical operators (AND, OR), ensure that they are correctly placed and that all conditions are complete.
