This error typically arises when a parameter that is expected to be hidden is not set as such, leading to issues in the execution of the query.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:

  The system client settings or the configuration of the query/report do not align with the expected behavior for hidden parameters.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Query/Report Configuration:

  Adjust Parameter Settings:

  Review Client Settings:
  
  Check the client settings in the SAP system to ensure that they are configured correctly for the intended use of the query/report.
  Ensure that the user roles and authorizations are set up correctly to allow access to the parameters.
