• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UWS_SURVEY_FORM_GUI022 - The number of columns and the number of rows must be numerical ?

  The SAP error message UWS_SURVEY_FORM_GUI022 indicates that there is an issue with the input values for the number of columns and rows in a survey form. Specifically, the error suggests that the values provided for these parameters are not numerical, which is a requirement for the system to process the survey correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Numerical Input: The most common cause of this error is that the user has entered non-numerical characters (such as letters, special characters, or spaces) in the fields designated for the number of columns and rows.
  Empty Fields: If the fields for the number of columns or rows are left empty, the system may interpret this as a non-numerical input.
  Data Type Mismatch: The system expects a specific data type (integer) for these fields, and any deviation from this can trigger the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Values: Ensure that the values entered for both the number of columns and rows are strictly numerical. They should be whole numbers (integers) without any decimal points or non-numeric characters.
  Remove Extra Spaces: Make sure there are no leading or trailing spaces in the input fields.
  Default Values: If applicable, consider using default values for the number of columns and rows to avoid input errors.
  Validation: Implement input validation in the form to restrict entries to numerical values only. This can help prevent the error from occurring in the first place.
  Re-enter Values: If you suspect that the input was correct but still received the error, try re-entering the values to ensure they are correctly recognized by the system.
