• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PRCG_CNDNRECORD_API005 - No SIGN has been specified for selection options. ?

  The SAP error message PRCG_CNDNRECORD_API005 with the description "No SIGN has been specified for selection options" typically occurs in the context of data selection or filtering operations, particularly when using APIs or function modules that require specific selection criteria.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the selection options provided to the API or function module do not include a required "SIGN" parameter. The "SIGN" parameter is used to specify whether the selection criteria should include or exclude certain values. In SAP, the "SIGN" can typically take values like "I" (Include) or "E" (Exclude). If this parameter is missing, the system cannot determine how to process the selection criteria, leading to the error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that the selection options you are passing to the API or function module include the "SIGN" parameter. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check the Code: Review the code where the API or function module is being called. Ensure that the selection options are being populated correctly.
  
  
  Define SIGN Parameter: Make sure that for each selection option, you define the "SIGN" parameter. For example:
  
  If you want to include records that match a certain condition, set SIGN to 'I'.
  If you want to exclude records that match a certain condition, set SIGN to 'E'.
  
  
  
  Example of Selection Options:
  DATA: lt_selection_options TYPE TABLE OF your_selection_type.
  
  APPEND VALUE #( SIGN = 'I' OPTION = 'EQ' LOW = 'value' ) TO lt_selection_options.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary changes, test the functionality again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the required parameters for the API or function module, refer to the SAP documentation or the function module's documentation for detailed information on the expected input parameters.
