  Open the query in the Query Designer (transaction code: RSRT or RSQ1).
  Verify if any variables are defined in the query. If not, you can add variables as needed.
  Ensure that the variables are properly configured (e.g., input type, default values).

  Test the Query:
  
  After adding or modifying variables, save the query and test it again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Check Execution Context:
  
  Ensure that you are executing the query in the correct context. If you are using a specific report or transaction that requires variables, make sure the query is designed to accommodate that.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about how to define variables or the expected behavior of the query, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a BW/BI expert within your organization.
