  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS213 indicates that there is an issue with the zero suppression settings in a query that uses Core Data Services (CDS) views. Specifically, the error states that the value for zeroValues.handling is missing, which means that the system does not know how to handle zero values in the context of the query.
  Cause
  The error typically arises when:
  
  A query is configured to suppress zero values, but the necessary settings for handling these values are not defined.
  The CDS view or the query definition does not include the required parameter for zero value handling.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Query Settings:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer (transaction code RSRT).
  Navigate to the properties of the query and look for the zero suppression settings.
  Ensure that the zeroValues.handling parameter is defined. This parameter typically has options like "Suppress" or "Show".
  
  
  
  Modify the CDS View:
  
  If you are using a CDS view, check the definition of the view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant transaction.
  Ensure that the zeroValues.handling option is specified in the CDS view definition. You can do this by adding the appropriate annotation in the CDS view, for example:
  @Analytics.query: true
  @Analytics.dataCategory: #CUBE
  @Analytics.zeroValues.handling: #SUPPRESS
  define view Your_CDS_View as select from Your_Table
  {
      // Your fields here
  }
  
  
  
  
  Re-activate the CDS View:
  
  After making changes to the CDS view, make sure to activate it to apply the changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run the query again to see if the error persists.
