• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P0755 - Only I is allowed for select option COND ?

  The SAP error message "P0755 Only I is allowed for select option COND" typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when dealing with selection options in reports or queries. This error indicates that the selection option for a condition (COND) is not set correctly.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a selection option is defined in a way that is not compatible with the expected input. Specifically, the "I" (Include) operator is the only valid operator for selection options of type COND. If you attempt to use other operators (like "E" for Exclude, "NE" for Not Equal, etc.) with a selection option that is defined as a condition, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that the selection option for the COND type is set to "I" (Include). Here are the steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue:
  
  
  Check the Selection Option Definition: Review the code where the selection options are defined. Ensure that the selection option for the COND type is only using the "I" operator.
  Example:
  SELECT-OPTIONS: s_cond FOR <field> OBLIGATORY.
  
  
  Modify the Selection Logic: If you have any logic that modifies the selection options, ensure that it does not inadvertently change the operator to something other than "I".
  
  
  Review the Report Logic: If the selection options are being used in a report or query, ensure that the logic that processes these options is correctly handling them as conditions.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the report or program to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the expected results are returned.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or ABAP documentation for more details on selection options and their usage.
  ABAP Programming Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with best practices for defining and using selection options in ABAP programs.
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider using the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the selection option is being incorrectly set.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your selection options are correctly configured for use in your SAP programs.
