• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1336 - Selection option CP is not supported for field & ?

  The SAP error message RSM1336 indicates that the selection option "CP" (which stands for "Contains Pattern") is not supported for a specific field in your selection criteria. This typically occurs in the context of data selection in SAP reports or transactions where certain fields do not allow the use of the "Contains Pattern" operator.
  Cause:
  
  Field Type: The field you are trying to use with the "CP" selection option may not support pattern matching. This is common for fields that are numeric or have a specific data type that does not allow for wildcard searches.
  Field Definition: The field may be defined in a way that restricts the use of certain selection options. For example, if the field is defined as a key field or has specific constraints, it may not allow for pattern matching.
  Technical Limitations: Some fields in SAP are designed for exact matches only, and using "CP" would not make sense in the context of those fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change Selection Option: Instead of using "CP", consider using other selection options that are supported for the field in question. Common alternatives include:
  
  EQ (Equal)
  NE (Not Equal)
  GT (Greater Than)
  LT (Less Than)
  GE (Greater Than or Equal)
  LE (Less Than or Equal)
  
  
  
  Check Field Properties: Review the properties of the field in the data dictionary (transaction SE11) to understand its data type and the allowed selection options. This will help you determine the appropriate selection criteria to use.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the selection options available for a specific field, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the field's usage.
  
  
  Modify Query/Report: If you are working with a custom report or query, you may need to modify the logic to accommodate the limitations of the field.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the field definitions and properties.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific field or transaction you are working with.
  Community Forums: SAP Community and other forums can be helpful for finding similar issues and solutions shared by other users.
