• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SQADB107 - Specify a selection text ?

  The SAP error message SQADB107: Specify a selection text typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or when working with selection screens in ABAP programs. This error indicates that a selection text (a descriptive label for a selection field) has not been provided for a selection criterion that requires it.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following:
  
  Missing Selection Text: When defining a selection option in a query or report, the selection text (which describes what the user should input) has not been specified.
  Incorrect Configuration: If you are using a custom selection screen or query, it may not have been configured properly to include selection texts for all fields.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SQADB107 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Selection Texts:
  
  If you are working with a query, go to the query definition and ensure that all selection fields have a corresponding selection text defined.
  In the SAP Query (transaction SQ01), navigate to the selection criteria and verify that each field has a valid selection text.
  
  
  
  Modify the Selection Screen:
  
  If you are developing an ABAP program with a selection screen, ensure that you have defined the selection texts for all parameters. For example:
  PARAMETERS: p_date TYPE sy-datum OBLIGATORY,
              p_name TYPE string.
  You can add selection texts like this:
  PARAMETERS: p_date TYPE sy-datum OBLIGATORY
              AS TEXT-001,
              p_name TYPE string
              AS TEXT-002.
  
  Make sure that the texts (TEXT-001, TEXT-002) are defined in the text elements of the program.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction SE61:
  
  If you need to create or modify text elements, you can use transaction SE61 to manage text elements in SAP. Ensure that the texts you reference in your program or query are available.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If you are using custom code or enhancements, review the code to ensure that all selection fields are properly defined with their corresponding texts.
