• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1063 - Field &(&) is from data type date; no type selection 5 allowed ?

  The SAP error message RSM1063 indicates that there is an issue with a date field in your data selection criteria. Specifically, the error states that a field of data type "date" is being used in a context where a type selection of "5" (which typically refers to a specific selection option) is not allowed.
  Cause:
  This error usually occurs in the context of data selection in SAP reports or programs where a date field is being compared or filtered using an invalid selection option. The selection options in SAP for date fields typically include:
  
  1: Single value
  2: Interval
  3: Exclusion
  4: Multiple values
  5: No selection (which is not valid for date fields)
  
  When you attempt to use option "5" (no selection) for a date field, SAP raises this error because it does not make sense to have a date field without a selection.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should check the selection criteria for the date field in your report or program. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Review Selection Options: Ensure that you are using valid selection options for the date field. You should use options 1, 2, 3, or 4, depending on your requirement.
  
  
  Modify the Selection Screen: If you are developing a custom report or program, modify the selection screen to remove the option for "no selection" (option 5) for date fields.
  
  
  Check for Default Values: If the selection screen is being populated with default values, ensure that it does not default to "no selection" for date fields.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the report or program to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific transaction or report you are working with to understand the valid selection options for date fields.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
  Debugging: If you are a developer, consider debugging the program to see how the selection criteria are being constructed and where the invalid option is being set.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSM1063 error and ensure that your date field selections are valid.
