• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1062 - Field &(&) is not from data type date; no type selection 1..4 allowed ?

  The SAP error message RSM1062 indicates that there is an issue with a field that is expected to be of the data type "date," but the field being referenced does not conform to this requirement. This error typically occurs in the context of data selection or processing where date fields are expected, such as in reports or data extraction processes.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Field Type: The field specified in the error message is not defined as a date type in the database or in the program logic. This could happen if the field is defined as a string, integer, or another data type.
  Data Mapping Issues: If you are using a custom program or report, there may be a mismatch in the data mapping where a non-date field is being treated as a date field.
  Configuration Errors: In some cases, configuration settings in the SAP system may lead to incorrect data type assignments.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Definition: Verify the data type of the field mentioned in the error message. Ensure that it is defined as a date type in the relevant database table or structure.
  Modify Program Logic: If you are working with a custom ABAP program, check the logic where the field is being used. Ensure that the field is being processed correctly and that any date-related operations are only applied to fields of the correct type.
  Data Conversion: If the field is not a date type but needs to be treated as one, consider implementing a conversion routine to convert the field to a date format before processing.
  Review Selection Criteria: If the error occurs during a selection process, review the selection criteria to ensure that only date fields are being used in date-related selections.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the error and the context in which it occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to check transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to inspect the field definitions or SE38 (ABAP Editor) to review the program logic.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Testing: After making changes, test the program or report to ensure that the error is resolved and that the expected functionality is achieved.
