  The SAP error message RSDAS_PERSIST042 indicates that there is a parameter error related to the use of intervals in a query or data extraction process. This error typically occurs when you are trying to use an interval that is not allowed for a specific parameter in the context of your query or data model.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Invalid Interval Specification: The interval you are trying to use may not be valid for the specific characteristic or key figure in your query.
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type of the parameter you are using may not support intervals. For example, if you are trying to use an interval on a characteristic that only accepts single values.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query may be designed in a way that does not support the use of intervals for certain fields.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the InfoObject or the query itself that restrict the use of intervals.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Query Design:
  
  Review the query to ensure that the intervals are being applied to the correct fields. Make sure that the fields you are using support interval selection.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Types:

  Modify the Interval:
  
  If the interval is not permitted, consider changing it to a single value or a different type of selection that is allowed for that parameter.
  
  
  
  Review InfoObject Settings:
  
  Check the settings of the InfoObjects involved in the query. Ensure that they are configured to allow for interval selections if that is required.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the characteristics and key figures you are working with to understand their limitations regarding intervals.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Parameters:
