• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSWADMDCMD011 - Using Parameter IOBNM with SORT_TYPE_CMD=VALUE Is Not Permitted ?

  The SAP error message RSWADMDCMD011 indicates that there is an issue with the use of the parameter IOBNM in conjunction with the SORT_TYPE_CMD=VALUE setting. This error typically arises in the context of data extraction or reporting processes where certain parameters are not compatible with each other.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system does not allow the use of the IOBNM parameter when the SORT_TYPE_CMD is set to VALUE. This is a restriction in the SAP system to ensure that the data processing logic remains consistent and valid. The IOBNM parameter is generally used to specify the name of an InfoObject, and when sorting by value, the system expects a different set of parameters.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Configuration: Review the configuration of the report or data extraction process where the error is occurring. Ensure that the parameters being used are compatible with each other.
  
  
  Modify the SORT_TYPE_CMD: If possible, change the SORT_TYPE_CMD from VALUE to another valid option that does not conflict with the use of the IOBNM parameter. For example, you might consider using SORT_TYPE_CMD=KEY if that fits your requirements.
  
  
  Remove IOBNM Parameter: If the use of the IOBNM parameter is not essential for your report or extraction, consider removing it altogether to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction or report you are working with. This can provide insights into the valid combinations of parameters.
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date, as there may be patches or updates that address this issue or provide additional functionality.
