• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UGMD2308 - No gap between ranges: &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message UGMD2308 "No gap between ranges: &1 &2" typically occurs in the context of defining ranges for certain fields in SAP, particularly when working with selection criteria or data ranges in reports or transactions. This error indicates that there is an overlap or no gap between the defined ranges, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by defining two or more ranges that either overlap or are contiguous without a gap. For example, if you have defined a range from 1 to 5 and another from 5 to 10, SAP sees this as a conflict because there is no gap between the two ranges.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the ranges you are defining do not overlap and have appropriate gaps between them. Here are the steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue:
  
  
  Review Defined Ranges: Check the ranges you have defined in your selection criteria. Look for any overlapping or contiguous ranges.
  
  
  Adjust Ranges: Modify the ranges so that they are distinct and have gaps between them. For example:
  
  Instead of defining ranges as 1-5 and 5-10, you could define them as 1-4 and 6-10.
  
  
  
  Validate Input: If the ranges are being input by users, ensure that there are validation checks in place to prevent overlapping ranges from being entered.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: This error can occur in various transactions where ranges are defined, such as in report selection screens or data entry forms.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with for more detailed information on how to define ranges correctly.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message, as there may be specific fixes or recommendations provided by SAP.
