• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDSP_UI043 - Only parameters of type input or changing can be set as range ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDSP_UI043 indicates that there is an issue with the parameters being used in a query or an OData service. Specifically, the error states that only parameters of type "input" or "changing" can be set as a range. This typically occurs when you are trying to set a range for a parameter that is not defined as an input or changing parameter in the OData service.
  Cause:
  
  Parameter Type: The parameter you are trying to set as a range is likely defined as an output parameter or is not defined as a parameter that can accept ranges.
  Service Definition: The OData service may not be correctly defined to allow for range parameters for certain fields.
  Incorrect Usage: The way the parameters are being passed in the request may not align with the expected input types defined in the service.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Parameter Definitions: Review the OData service definition in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW) to ensure that the parameters you are trying to use as ranges are defined as input or changing parameters.
  Modify the Service: If the parameters are incorrectly defined, you may need to modify the service to change the parameter type to input or changing. This may involve:
  
  Opening the service in SEGW.
  Navigating to the relevant entity and checking the parameter types.
  Adjusting the parameter definitions as necessary.
  
  
  Review Request Structure: Ensure that the request you are sending to the OData service is structured correctly. Make sure you are using the correct syntax for specifying ranges.
  Testing: After making changes, test the OData service again to ensure that the error is resolved.
