Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRTS_CDS181 - CAST (&1) is ignored: label is provided via annotation @EndUserText.label ?

  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS181 indicates that there is an issue with the way a label is being handled in a Core Data Services (CDS) view or a related object. Specifically, the message states that the CAST operation is being ignored because a label is already provided via the annotation @EndUserText.label.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to use a CAST operation in your CDS view or query, but the field you are casting already has a label defined through the @EndUserText.label annotation.
  The system is designed to prioritize the label provided through the annotation over any label that might be generated or implied by the CAST operation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Remove the CAST: If the CAST is not necessary for your logic, consider removing it. The field may already be in the desired format, and the label can be directly used.
  
  
  Modify the Annotation: If you need to keep the CAST, you can modify the CDS view to ensure that the label is not defined through the @EndUserText.label annotation for that specific field. This way, the CAST operation will be recognized and processed correctly.
  
  
  Check for Redundant Annotations: Ensure that there are no conflicting annotations that might be causing the issue. If the field is being used in multiple places, check for consistency in how labels and types are defined.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation for CDS views and annotations to ensure that you are using them correctly. This can provide insights into best practices and common pitfalls.
