• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RFAC_QUICKFIX197 - Remove literal for text '&1' ?

  The SAP error message RFAC_QUICKFIX197 typically indicates that there is a problem with a literal text in your ABAP code or configuration. This error often arises when the system encounters a text string that is not properly defined or is not allowed in the context where it is being used.
  Cause:
  
  
  Literal Text Issue: The error suggests that there is a literal text (like a string) that needs to be removed or modified. This could be due to:
  
  The text being hardcoded in a way that is not compliant with SAP standards.
  The text being used in a context where it is not expected or allowed.

  Use Text Elements: If the literal is meant to be a user-facing message, consider using SAP text elements or message classes to manage these strings properly.
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date, as sometimes these issues can be resolved with patches or updates from SAP.
