• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWPGW/PGW_SERVICE003 - Filter parameter '&1' does not support logical operator '&2' ?

  The SAP error message /IWPGW/PGW_SERVICE003 Filter parameter '&1' does not support logical operator '&2' typically occurs in the context of OData services or Gateway services when a filter parameter is being used incorrectly in a query. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause
  
  Invalid Logical Operator: The error indicates that the filter parameter specified (represented by &1) does not support the logical operator being used (represented by &2). This often happens when trying to use operators like AND, OR, or NOT with a filter that does not allow them.
  Incorrect Filter Syntax: The syntax of the filter query might be incorrect, leading to the use of unsupported logical operators.
  Data Type Mismatch: The filter parameter may be expecting a specific data type, and using a logical operator with an incompatible type can trigger this error.
  
  Solution
  
  Check Filter Syntax: Review the syntax of the filter you are using. Ensure that you are using the correct format and that the logical operators are appropriate for the filter parameters.
  Refer to OData Documentation: Consult the OData service documentation for the specific service you are using. This documentation will provide details on which operators are supported for each filter parameter.
  Modify the Query: If the filter parameter does not support the logical operator you are trying to use, consider restructuring your query. For example, if you are trying to combine multiple conditions, see if you can achieve the same result using separate queries or by using supported operators.
  Debugging: If you have access to the backend, you can debug the OData service to see how the filter is being processed and identify where the issue arises.
