• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_COS105 - Ranges not supported for this filter expression ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_COS105 Ranges not supported for this filter expression typically occurs in the context of OData services when a filter expression is used that includes ranges, but the underlying data model or the OData service does not support such operations.
  Cause:
  
  
  Unsupported Filter Expression: The error is triggered when a filter expression that includes ranges (e.g., ge, le, between) is used on a property that does not support these operations. This can happen if the property is not defined as a range-compatible type in the OData service metadata.
  
  
  Data Model Limitations: The data model may not allow for range queries on certain fields, either due to the data type or the way the OData service is implemented.
  
  
  Incorrect OData Query: The OData query being sent to the service may be incorrectly formed, leading to the use of unsupported filter expressions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the OData Service Metadata: Review the metadata of the OData service to ensure that the properties you are trying to filter on support range queries. You can access the metadata by appending $metadata to the service URL.
  
  
  Modify the Query: If the property does not support range queries, modify your OData query to use equality filters instead of range filters. For example, instead of using ?$filter=Property ge value1 and Property le value2, you might need to use ?$filter=Property eq value1 or similar.
  
  
  Update the Data Model: If you have control over the OData service implementation, consider updating the data model to support range queries for the relevant properties, if applicable.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific OData service you are using to understand the supported filter expressions and data types.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to gracefully manage such errors and provide meaningful feedback to users.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  OData Protocol: Understanding the OData protocol and its filtering capabilities can help in constructing valid queries.
  SAP Gateway: If you are using SAP Gateway, familiarize yourself with the capabilities and limitations of the OData services you are working with.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community or forums for insights and solutions from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully execute your OData queries.
