• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R9E028 - All elements of structure '&1' are always hidden ?

  The SAP error message R9E028, which states "All elements of structure '&1' are always hidden," typically occurs in the context of SAP reporting or data extraction, particularly when working with structures in ABAP or when defining data sources for reporting tools like SAP BW or SAP Query.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the structure you are trying to use has all of its fields marked as hidden. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  Field Visibility Settings: The fields in the structure may have been configured to be hidden in the context of the report or query you are trying to execute.
  Data Source Configuration: If you are using a data source that is not properly configured, it may lead to all fields being hidden.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, user authorizations can restrict visibility to certain fields, leading to this error.
  Technical Issues: There may be a technical issue with the structure definition or the way it is being called in the report.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the R9E028 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Structure Definition:
  
  Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the structure definition for the specified structure (&1).
  Ensure that the fields are not set to be hidden. You can check the field properties and visibility settings.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source Configuration:
  
  If you are using a data source (like in SAP BW), check the configuration of the data source to ensure that the fields are correctly mapped and not set to hidden.
  
  
  
  Adjust Report/Query Settings:
  
  If you are using a report or query tool, check the settings to ensure that the fields are included in the output and not filtered out or hidden.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user executing the report has the necessary authorizations to view the fields in the structure. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the report or program to see how the structure is being processed and where it might be getting hidden.
