• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSISSO023 - General variables as elements of the text are not supported ?

  The SAP error message PSISSO023 indicates that there is an issue with the use of general variables in the text elements of a particular context, such as a report or a form. This error typically arises when you attempt to use general variables (like those defined in the SAP system) in a text element where they are not supported.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is the attempt to include general variables in text elements (like text modules, smart forms, or other text-based outputs) where the system does not allow for dynamic variable substitution. General variables are often used in SAP for various purposes, but they cannot be directly used in certain text contexts.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Text Elements: Check the text elements where the error is occurring. Ensure that you are not using general variables directly in these text elements.
  
  
  Use Local Variables: If you need to include dynamic content, consider using local variables or parameters that are specifically designed for the context in which you are working. These are often defined within the program or form and can be used safely.
  
  
  Modify the Logic: If you need to display variable content, you may need to modify the logic of your program or form to handle the variables outside of the text element and then pass the resolved values into the text element.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for the specific context you are working in (e.g., Smart Forms, SAPscript, etc.) to understand the limitations and best practices for using variables.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the output to ensure that the error is resolved and that the desired content is displayed correctly.

  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the source of the error and implement a solution that allows you to work with text elements without encountering the PSISSO023 error.
