• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG462 - Field "&1" in On condition of "&2" can only be used in "=" comparison ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG462 indicates that there is an issue with the use of a field in the "On" condition of a specific object or condition in your SAP system. Specifically, it states that the field "&1" in the "On" condition of "&2" can only be used in an "=" comparison. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's authorization or security settings, particularly when defining conditions for access control or data visibility.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a field is used in a way that is not supported by the system. In this case, the field is likely being used in a comparison that is not an equality check (i.e., it is being used with operators other than "="). The system expects that certain fields can only be compared for equality, and using them with other operators (like "<", ">", "<>", etc.) will trigger this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Condition: Check the condition where the error is occurring. Look for the field specified as "&1" and the object or condition specified as "&2".
  
  
  Modify the Comparison: Ensure that the field is only being used in an equality comparison. Change any non-equality comparisons to use the "=" operator.
  
  
  Check Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific object or condition you are working with. This can provide insights into the expected usage of fields in conditions.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the functionality behaves as expected.
