• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD084 - Attribute "&1" contains invalid value "&2" ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WD084 Attribute "&1" contains invalid value "&2"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the Web Dynpro ABAP environment when an attribute of a UI element or context node is assigned a value that is not valid according to the expected data type or value constraints.
  
  The placeholder &1 represents the name of the attribute.
  The placeholder &2 represents the invalid value assigned to that attribute.
  
  Common causes include:
  
  Assigning a value that does not conform to the expected data type (e.g., assigning a string to an integer attribute).
  Assigning a value that violates domain or data element restrictions.
  Assigning a value that is not allowed by the UI element's property (e.g., an invalid enumeration value).
  Context attribute value does not match the expected format or range.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the attribute name and value:
  
  Identify which attribute (&1) is causing the problem and what invalid value (&2) is being assigned.
  
  
  Verify data types and constraints:  
  
  Ensure the value assigned matches the data type of the attribute.
  Check domain restrictions or fixed values if the attribute is based on a domain or enumeration.
  For example, if the attribute expects a Boolean, do not assign a string like "Yes".
  
  
  
  Debug the Web Dynpro application:  
  
  Use the debugger to trace where the attribute is set.
  Check the source of the value and validate it before assignment.
  
  
  
  Validate context node attributes:  
  
  If the attribute belongs to a context node, ensure the context mapping and data binding are correct.
  Check if the context attribute has any value restrictions.
  
  
  
  Correct the value assignment:  
  
  Modify the code or configuration to assign a valid value.
  If the value comes from user input or external source, add validation logic.
  
  
  
  Check UI element properties:  
  
  If the attribute is a UI element property (e.g., a dropdown value), ensure the value is part of the allowed set.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is common in Web Dynpro ABAP applications during runtime when UI elements or context attributes are dynamically set.
  It is related to data binding and UI element property settings.
  Refer to SAP Note or documentation on Web Dynpro attribute validation if needed.
  Use transaction SE80 or SE24 to check the component and context attributes.
  Debugging tools in Web Dynpro can help identify the exact point of failure.
  
  
  Example:
  If you have a context attribute STATUS which is of type CHAR1 and expects values 'A', 'I', or 'D', assigning a value like 'X' will trigger this error:
  WD084 Attribute "STATUS" contains invalid value "X"
  You need to ensure only 'A', 'I', or 'D' are assigned to STATUS.
  
  If you provide the exact attribute and value, I can help you with a more specific solution.
