  • 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:

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. Data Type Mismatch: The system expects a specific data type (integer) for these fields, and any deviation from this can trigger the error.

    Solution:

    1. 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.
    2. Remove Extra Spaces: Make sure there are no leading or trailing spaces in the input fields.
    3. Default Values: If applicable, consider using default values for the number of columns and rows to avoid input errors.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with, as it may provide additional context or troubleshooting steps related to survey forms.
    • User Forums: Check SAP community forums or user groups for similar issues and solutions shared by other users.
    • SAP Support: If the problem persists after checking the inputs, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, as there may be underlying issues specific to your SAP environment.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully input the required values for your survey form.
