UJD_EXCEPTION095 - Details

• The SAP error message UJD_EXCEPTION095 with the description "Command error PAD(&1); direction must be 'L' or 'R'" typically occurs in the context of SAP BusinessObjects or SAP BW when there is an issue with the syntax or parameters used in a command related to padding strings.
  
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the PAD command is being used incorrectly. The PAD command is intended to pad a string to a specified length, and it requires a direction parameter that specifies whether to pad on the left ('L') or the right ('R'). If the direction parameter is missing, incorrect, or not specified as 'L' or 'R', this error will be triggered.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Command Syntax: Review the command where the PAD function is being used. Ensure that the syntax is correct and that the direction parameter is explicitly set to either 'L' (for left padding) or 'R' (for right padding).
