  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SALV_X_API067 - Column '&1' does not support aggregation function '&2' ?

    The SAP error message SALV_X_API067 indicates that you are trying to apply an aggregation function (like SUM, AVG, COUNT, etc.) to a column in an ALV (ABAP List Viewer) report that does not support such operations. This typically occurs when the column data type or the context of the data does not allow for aggregation.

    Cause:

    1. Data Type: The column you are trying to aggregate may not be of a numeric type. For example, if the column is of type CHAR or STRING, it cannot be aggregated.
    2. Column Definition: The column may not be defined in a way that supports aggregation. For instance, if it is a calculated field or a field that is not meant to be aggregated.
    3. Aggregation Function: The specific aggregation function you are trying to use may not be applicable to the data type of the column.

    Solution:

    1. Check Data Type: Ensure that the column you are trying to aggregate is of a numeric type (e.g., INT, DEC, FLOAT). If it is not, consider changing the data type or using a different column that supports aggregation.
    2. Review Column Definition: If the column is a calculated field or derived from another source, check if it can be modified to support aggregation or if you need to create a new field that can be aggregated.
    3. Change Aggregation Function: If the aggregation function you are using is not suitable for the column, consider using a different function that is appropriate for the data type.
    4. Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the data flow and see how the column is being populated. This can help identify if there are any issues with the data being passed to the ALV.

    Related Information:

    • ALV Documentation: Review the SAP documentation on ALV and aggregation functions to understand which data types support which functions.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to the ALV and aggregation functions.
    • Community Forums: Consider searching or posting on SAP community forums for additional insights or similar experiences from other users.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
