• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADA504 - Valid input range for selectivity: 1 - 100 ?

  The SAP error message SADA504 indicates that there is an issue with the selectivity parameter in a query or report. Specifically, it states that the valid input range for selectivity is between 1 and 100. This error typically occurs when the selectivity value provided is outside of this range.
  Cause:
  The selectivity parameter is used to define how selective a query should be when retrieving data. A selectivity of 1 means that the query will return a very broad set of results, while a selectivity of 100 means it will return a very narrow set. If a value less than 1 or greater than 100 is entered, the system will trigger this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the SADA504 error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Input Value: Review the value you are entering for the selectivity parameter. Ensure that it is within the valid range of 1 to 100.
  
  
  Adjust the Query: If you are using a program or report that allows you to set the selectivity, adjust the value accordingly. For example, if you have mistakenly entered 0 or 150, change it to a value between 1 and 100.
  
  
  Review Documentation: If you are unsure about the appropriate selectivity value for your specific use case, consult the documentation for the report or query you are running. It may provide guidance on what selectivity values are recommended.
  
  
  Test the Query: After making adjustments, run the query again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Selectivity in SAP: Understanding how selectivity works can help you optimize your queries. A higher selectivity value can lead to faster query performance by reducing the amount of data processed.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific transaction or report you are using. Sometimes, there may be patches or updates that address similar issues.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to run the query or report, as sometimes permission issues can lead to unexpected errors.
