  The SAP error message GS815, which states "Error during the conversion of variable &," typically occurs when there is an issue with the data type conversion in a report or program. This error can arise in various contexts, such as when dealing with variables in ABAP programs, reports, or during data processing in SAP.

  Data Type Mismatch: The variable being processed may not be compatible with the expected data type. For example, trying to convert a string to a numeric type when the string contains non-numeric characters.
  Null or Empty Values: If the variable is null or empty, the conversion process may fail.
