  Cause:
  
  Invalid Filter Criteria: The error can occur if the filter criteria specified in the ALV grid are invalid or do not match the data types of the fields being filtered.
  Data Type Mismatch: If the data types of the fields in the dynamic where clause do not match the expected types, this can lead to failures.
  Field Names: If the field names used in the filter do not exist in the data set or are misspelled, it can cause this error.
  Empty or Null Values: If the filter is trying to apply conditions on fields that have null or empty values, it may lead to this error.

  Solution:
  
  Check Filter Criteria: Review the filter criteria being applied in the ALV grid. Ensure that they are valid and correctly specified.

  Handle Null Values: Implement checks to handle null or empty values in the fields being filtered. You may need to adjust the logic to account for these cases.
