W8354 - Details

  • Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message W8354: Operator '&1' allows only one operand:
    
    Error Message
    W8354 Operator '&1' allows only one operand
    
    Cause
    This warning occurs when an operator that is designed to work with only one operand (unary operator) is used with more than one operand in an expression or condition.
    In SAP, certain operators expect exactly one operand. For example, the unary minus operator (-) or the logical NOT operator (NOT) are unary operators and should be applied to a single operand only.
    If you mistakenly use such an operator with multiple operands, or if the syntax of the expression is incorrect causing the parser to interpret multiple operands, this warning is triggered.
    
    Common Scenarios
    
    Using unary operators like - or NOT with multiple operands.
    Incorrect syntax in conditions or expressions in ABAP code, SAP Query, or other SAP tools.
    Misplaced parentheses or missing operators causing the parser to misinterpret the expression.
    
    
    Example
    DATA: lv_result TYPE
