  The SAP error message RSDHA077 indicates that there is an issue with the selection options for a field in a query or report. Specifically, it means that the selection option you are trying to use for a particular field is not allowed. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with queries in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or when using certain selection criteria in reports.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Check Field Properties: Review the properties of the field in the InfoObject or query definition to determine which selection options are permitted. You can do this in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  Modify Selection Options: Change the selection option you are using to one that is valid for the field. For example, if the field only allows single value selection, ensure you are not trying to use a range or multiple values.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific field to understand its allowed selection options.
