How To Fix W8177 - Enter the value for element & using the input help

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: W8 - Workflow: Expressions, data flow

• Message number: 177

• Message text: Enter the value for element & using the input help

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

What causes this issue?

Values for elements with object type reference or structure reference
must only be entered using the input help, to ensure the conversion of
the individual fields.
Values for structures can therefore only be entered if the length of the
entire structure is no longer than 130 characters.

How to fix this error?

Use the F4 input help for the definition of initial values.
The procedure for defining initial values for longer structures can be
found in SAP Note 121557.
