  • What causes this issue?

    In the definition of the selection condition, you have, for one field,
    used a compare operator, which can only be used for character fields
    (for example, "CP" search). The current field is not a character field.
    The internal system representation of the field contents therefore
    deviates from the external representation on the screen. Comparisons,
    which assume that internal and external respresentation of the field
    contents are identical, cannot be performed. The specified selection
    cannot therefore be evaluated.

    System Response

    The entries were not accepted.

    select F4.
