How To Fix SP01R001 - A pattern cannot be entered for a date

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SP01R - SP01 Error Messages

• Message number: 001

• Message text: A pattern cannot be entered for a date

What causes this issue?

You attempted to specify a pattern for a date. This is not allowed as
the system calculates a time period based on a number of days (for
example 30 days) and not based on a specific date (for example March
1999).

System Response

Function module terminates.

How to fix this error?

Do not use * (option CP) in the date field for selection options. This
error usually only occurs when the function module is used directly,
and not in transaction SP01.
