• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRTS_CDS093 - When mixing AND and OR operators: Wrap OR conditions in paranteses ?

  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS093 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are working with queries that involve complex conditions in the selection criteria. This error specifically indicates that there is a problem with the logical structure of your query, particularly when mixing AND and OR operators.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you have a combination of AND and OR conditions in your query without proper grouping using parentheses. In logical expressions, the order of operations can lead to ambiguity, and SAP requires that you explicitly define the precedence of the conditions to avoid misinterpretation.
  For example, if you have a condition like this:
  A AND B OR C
  It is unclear whether this should be interpreted as:
  (A AND B) OR C
  or
  A AND (B OR C)
  To resolve this ambiguity, you need to use parentheses to clearly define the intended logic.
  Solution:
  To fix the error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Query: Go to the query definition in the SAP BW Query Designer or the relevant tool you are using.
  
  
  Identify Conditions: Look for the selection conditions where you are mixing AND and OR operators.
  
  
  Add Parentheses: Wrap the OR conditions in parentheses to clarify the intended logic. For example, change:
  A AND B OR C
  to:
  A AND (B OR C)
  or:
  (A AND B) OR C
  depending on your intended logic.
  
  
  Test the Query: After making the changes, execute the query again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Best Practices: When designing queries, always use parentheses to group conditions, especially when combining AND and OR operators. This not only helps avoid errors but also makes the logic clearer for anyone reviewing the query.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP BW documentation for more details on query design and logical operators. Understanding how SAP interprets logical conditions can help prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  
  Debugging: If you continue to encounter issues, consider simplifying the query or breaking it down into smaller parts to isolate the problematic condition.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSRTS_CDS093 error and successfully execute your query.
