• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDME364 - Default Value should be Numeric for Continuous Model Field &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSDME364, which states "Default Value should be Numeric for Continuous Model Field &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when working with data models that involve continuous fields. This error indicates that a default value assigned to a continuous model field is not numeric, which is a requirement for such fields.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Default Value: The default value set for a continuous model field is either non-numeric (e.g., a string or character) or is not formatted correctly as a number.
  Field Type Mismatch: The field in question is defined as a continuous field (which expects numeric values), but the default value provided does not conform to this requirement.
  Data Model Configuration: There may be an issue in the configuration of the data model where the field type is not properly defined or the default value is not set correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Definition: Go to the data model definition in SAP BW or HANA and verify that the field is indeed defined as a continuous field.
  Set Numeric Default Value: Ensure that the default value assigned to the field is numeric. For example, if the field is defined to accept decimal values, make sure the default value is in a valid numeric format (e.g., 0.0, 1.5).
  Update the Default Value: If the default value is incorrect, update it to a valid numeric value. This can usually be done in the data model configuration settings.
  Validate Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the fields in the model are consistent with the expected input. If necessary, adjust the data types to match the requirements.
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the data model to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Continuous Fields: In SAP BW and HANA, continuous fields are typically used for measures that can take on a range of numeric values (e.g., sales amounts, quantities).
  Data Modeling Best Practices: When designing data models, always ensure that the data types and default values are correctly defined to avoid runtime errors.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on data modeling and field definitions, as well as troubleshooting common errors.
