• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPP033 - Value &1 is not supported as a SIGN in a RANGE ?

  The SAP error message RSPP033 indicates that a value provided for the SIGN parameter in a range is not supported. This typically occurs when you are trying to define a selection range in an ABAP program or a report, and the SIGN value does not conform to the expected values.
  Cause:
  The SIGN parameter in a range table in SAP is used to specify whether the range is inclusive or exclusive. The valid values for SIGN are:
  
  I (Include): This means that the values specified in the range should be included in the selection.
  E (Exclude): This means that the values specified in the range should be excluded from the selection.
  
  If you provide a value other than I or E, such as a blank or any other character, you will encounter the RSPP033 error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check the SIGN Value: Ensure that the SIGN value you are using in your range definition is either I or E.
  Correct the Code: If you are dynamically setting the SIGN value, make sure that the logic correctly assigns either I or E based on your requirements.
  Review Input Data: If the SIGN value is coming from user input or external data, validate that the input is correct before processing it.
  
  Example:
  Here is a simple example of how to define a range correctly in ABAP:
  DATA: lt_range TYPE RANGE OF your_field_type,
        ls_range TYPE your_field_type.
  
  ls_range-sign = 'I'.  " Include
  ls_range-option = 'EQ'. " Equal
  ls_range-low = 'Value1'.
  APPEND ls_range TO lt_range.
  
  ls_range-sign = 'E'.  " Exclude
  ls_range-option = 'NE'. " Not Equal
  ls_range-low = 'Value2'.
  APPEND ls_range TO lt_range.
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific function module or report you are working with to understand the expected parameters and their valid values.
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the incorrect SIGN value is coming from, use debugging tools in SAP to trace the execution and inspect the values being assigned to the range.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
  
  By ensuring that the SIGN values are correctly set to either I or E, you should be able to resolve the RSPP033 error.
