• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_SEGR234 - Lower bound ('&1') equals upper bound. Please use option 'EQUAL'. ?

  The SAP error message RSO_SEGR234 indicates that there is an issue with the bounds defined in a selection or filter for a query or report in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Specifically, it means that the lower bound and upper bound of a range selection are set to the same value, which is not allowed in certain contexts. The system is prompting you to use the option 'EQUAL' instead.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to define a range for a characteristic or key figure in a query or report.
  The lower and upper bounds of the range are identical, which creates a conflict because the system expects a range (i.e., a lower bound that is less than an upper bound).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria in your query or report. Look for any filters or ranges where the lower and upper bounds are set to the same value.
  
  
  Adjust the Bounds:
  
  If you intended to select a range of values, adjust the upper bound to be greater than the lower bound.
  If you meant to select a single value, change the selection type to 'EQUAL' instead of using a range.
  
  
  
  Modify the Query:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
  Navigate to the relevant characteristic or key figure.
  Change the selection from a range to a single value if that is your intention.
  
  
  
  Save and Test: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and test the query or report again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP BW Query Designer: Familiarize yourself with the Query Designer tool, as it allows you to create and modify queries, including setting selection criteria.
