  The SAP error message RSWADMDERR2114, which states "Tag '&1' cannot be nested," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Web Application Designer or when working with certain reporting tools within SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the structure of the tags used in your report or application, specifically that a certain tag is being used in a way that is not allowed (i.e., it is being nested within another tag of the same type).

  Solution:
  
  Review Tag Structure: Go through your report or application and check the structure of the tags. Ensure that you are not nesting the same type of tag within itself. If you find any such instances, modify the structure to avoid nesting.
  Use Different Tags: If you need to include multiple elements, consider using different types of tags that are allowed to be nested together.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific tool you are using (e.g., Web Application Designer) to understand the rules regarding tag usage and nesting.
  Testing: After making changes, test the report or application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the output is as expected.
