  The SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW080 indicates that there is an issue with the representation of variables in an external SAP HANA view. This error typically arises when you are trying to use a variable in a way that is not supported by the HANA view or when the variable is not properly defined.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported Variable Types: The variable you are trying to use may not be compatible with the HANA view. For example, certain types of variables or their representations may not be supported in the context of the HANA view.
  Incorrect Variable Definition: The variable may not be defined correctly in the context of the HANA view, leading to issues when the view is executed.

  Test with Static Values: Temporarily replace the variable with a static value to see if the query executes successfully. This can help isolate whether the issue is with the variable itself.
  Update HANA View: If the HANA view is outdated or not properly configured, consider updating or re-creating the view to ensure it supports the required variable representations.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for any specific limitations or requirements regarding variable usage in HANA views.
