  The SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING263 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a query in the SAP system, specifically related to the use of the Limit and Offset parameters. This error typically arises when you are trying to define a query that retrieves data, but the parameters are not set correctly.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You have defined one of the parameters (Limit or Offset) in your query but not the other.
  The query expects both parameters to be defined together or neither to be defined at all.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should check the configuration of your query and ensure that:
  
  
  Both Parameters Defined: If you want to use pagination in your query, make sure that both Limit and Offset parameters are defined. For example:
  
  Limit specifies the maximum number of records to return.
  Offset specifies the number of records to skip before starting to return records.
  
  
  
  Neither Parameter Defined: If you do not need pagination, ensure that neither Limit nor Offset is defined in your query.
  
  
  Steps to Fix:
  
  Open the query in the SAP system where the error is occurring.
  Check the settings for Limit and Offset.
  If you want to use pagination, set both parameters:
  
  Example: Limit = 10 and Offset = 0 (to get the first 10 records).
  
  
  If you do not need pagination, remove both parameters from the query.
  Save the changes and re-run the query to see if the error is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Pagination: Understanding how pagination works in SAP queries can help you effectively manage large datasets.
