• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MCW_AA_STR023 - Query &1 in method &2 contains &3 selection variables ?

  The SAP error message MCW_AA_STR023 typically indicates that there is an issue with the number of selection variables used in a query. This error occurs when the query you are trying to execute has exceeded the allowed limit of selection variables.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Selection Variable Limit: Each query in SAP has a predefined limit on the number of selection variables that can be used. If your query contains more selection variables than allowed, this error will be triggered.
  Query Design: The way the query is designed may inherently require more selection variables than the system allows.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in your SAP system that limit the number of selection variables.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the Query: Check the query definition and see if you can reduce the number of selection variables. This may involve:
  
  Removing unnecessary selection criteria.
  Combining similar selection variables into a single variable if possible.
  Using default values for some selection variables to reduce the total count.
  
  
  
  Modify Query Design: If the query is complex, consider breaking it down into multiple simpler queries that can be executed separately, thus reducing the number of selection variables in each individual query.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources to understand the specific limits for selection variables in your version of SAP.
  
  
  System Settings: If you believe the limit is too restrictive for your needs, consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator to see if there are any configuration options that can be adjusted.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the query again to ensure that it runs without errors.
