  The SAP error message KY428, which states "Report &1 cannot be executed (variable deleted)," typically occurs in the context of SAP reporting, particularly when dealing with reports that utilize variables for selection criteria. This error indicates that a variable that the report relies on has been deleted or is no longer available in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Variable: The most common cause is that a variable used in the report has been deleted from the system or is no longer defined in the relevant InfoObject or query.
  Changes in Data Sources: If the underlying data source or InfoProvider has been modified, it may lead to the removal or alteration of variables.
  Transport Issues: If the report or its associated variables were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), and the variables were not included in the transport, this error may occur.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the variable, leading to the perception that it has been deleted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Variable Definition: Verify if the variable in question still exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant InfoObject or query definition in the SAP BW/BI system.
  Recreate the Variable: If the variable has been deleted, you may need to recreate it. This involves defining the variable again in the relevant InfoObject or query.
  Review Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects, including variables, were included.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the report has the necessary authorizations to access the variable. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Consult Documentation: If the report is part of a standard SAP application, consult the SAP documentation or support for any known issues or updates related to the report.
