• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PMG/GE_ENH005 - Only options EQ and CP allowed for input table & ?

  The SAP error message /PMG/GE_ENH005 Only options EQ and CP allowed for input table & typically occurs in the context of using the SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) or similar modules where you are trying to filter or manipulate data using a selection table. This error indicates that the input table you are using for a selection does not support the operators you are trying to use, and only the operators "EQ" (equals) and "CP" (contains pattern) are allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Operators: The error is triggered when you attempt to use operators other than "EQ" or "CP" in a selection table. For example, using operators like "NE" (not equal), "GT" (greater than), "LT" (less than), etc., will lead to this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the selection table may not support the operators you are trying to use, which can happen if the table is designed to only accept specific types of queries.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Your Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you are using in your query or report. Ensure that you are only using "EQ" or "CP" as operators for the fields in the input table.
  Modify the Query: If you need to filter data using other operators, consider modifying your query logic to use "EQ" or "CP" where applicable. For example, if you need to check for a range, you might need to split the logic into multiple queries or use a different approach.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with to understand the limitations and supported operators for selection tables.
  Debugging: If you are a developer or have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution to see where the error is being triggered and adjust the code accordingly.
