• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCDS_ATC_DDLS_ANNO004 - Annotations value &1 does not match the annotation type &2 ?

  The SAP error message SCDS_ATC_DDLS_ANNO004 indicates that there is a mismatch between the value provided for an annotation and the expected type of that annotation. This typically occurs in the context of the ABAP programming model, particularly when working with annotations in CDS (Core Data Services) views or other related artifacts.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  An annotation is defined with a specific type (e.g., string, integer, boolean, etc.), but the value assigned to it does not conform to that type.
  For example, if an annotation expects a string value but receives an integer or a boolean, this error will be triggered.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Annotation Definition: Review the definition of the annotation in your CDS view or related artifact. Ensure that the expected type of the annotation is correctly defined.
  
  
  Validate the Assigned Value: Look at the value you are assigning to the annotation. Make sure that it matches the expected type. For instance:
  
  If the annotation expects a string, ensure that the value is enclosed in quotes.
  If it expects a boolean, ensure that you are using true or false without quotes.
  
  
  
  Correct the Mismatch: Modify the value to match the expected type. For example:
  
  Change 123 to '123' if a string is expected.
  Change 'true' to true if a boolean is expected.
  
  
  
  Recheck the Syntax: Ensure that there are no syntax errors in your CDS view or the related code that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary corrections, activate the CDS view or the related artifact again and check if the error persists.
