• Message class: PAIS - Messages for PA-IS (Ad Hoc Query etc.)

• Message number: 030

• Message text: The query contains output fields that are ignored

What causes this issue?

You tried to open a query that was not saved using Ad Hoc Query. The

Query because Ad Hoc Query only supports single-line lists. The query
was probably created using SAP Query.

System Response

Please note that information will be lost. Some of the query's output
fields will not be available in Ad Hoc Query. Fields are only taken
into account if they are output in line 1 and if they are not assigned
to a list group, or are assigned to list group 1.

How to fix this error?

If you can accept the resulting loss of information, you can continue
to work with the incomplete query. Otherwise, you should open the query
using SAP Query.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PAIS030 - The query contains output fields that are ignored ?

  The SAP error message PAIS030, which states "The query contains output fields that are ignored," typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or SAP InfoSet Query when there are issues with the fields selected for output in a query. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Field Compatibility: The fields selected for output may not be compatible with the data source or the query structure. This can happen if the fields are not part of the underlying data model or if they are not properly defined in the InfoSet.
  
  
  Field Status: Some fields may be set to "hidden" or "not available" in the InfoSet or query definition, leading to them being ignored during execution.
  
  
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying data source (like a table or view) has changed (e.g., fields added or removed), it can lead to discrepancies in the query output.
  
  
  Field Selection: The query may include fields that are not relevant for the selected data set or that do not have corresponding data in the records being queried.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Field Selection: Review the fields selected in the query. Ensure that all output fields are valid and available in the InfoSet or data source.
  
  
  Modify InfoSet: If you have access, modify the InfoSet to include the necessary fields. Ensure that the fields are correctly defined and available for selection.
  
  
  Field Status Review: Check the field status in the InfoSet. Make sure that the fields you want to display are not marked as hidden or inactive.
  
  
  Recreate the Query: If the query is complex or if there are many ignored fields, consider recreating the query from scratch to ensure that all fields are correctly configured.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the query and InfoSet you are working with.
  
  
  Test with Different Data: Sometimes, the issue may be related to the specific data being queried. Test the query with different selection criteria to see if the problem persists.
