• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MC752 - Field &-&: Do not specify integer constants in quotation marks ?

  The SAP error message MC752 ("Field &-&: Do not specify integer constants in quotation marks") typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming or when working with certain configuration settings in SAP. This error indicates that an integer constant has been incorrectly specified as a string by enclosing it in quotation marks.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to use an integer value in a context where it is expected to be a numeric type, but you have enclosed it in quotation marks, making it a string. For example, if you have a condition or a calculation that expects an integer, but you provide it as '123' (with quotes), SAP will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that any integer constants are not enclosed in quotation marks. Here are the steps to fix the issue:
  
  
  Identify the Code or Configuration: Locate the specific line of code or configuration where the error is occurring. This could be in an ABAP program, a custom report, or a configuration setting.
  
  
  Remove Quotation Marks: If you find any integer constants that are enclosed in quotation marks, remove the quotes. For example, change:
  IF variable = '123'.
  to:
  IF variable = 123.
  
  
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the variable you are comparing against is of the correct data type (integer or numeric) and that you are not inadvertently treating it as a string.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary changes, test the program or configuration to ensure that the error is resolved and that the functionality works as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
