• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WO355 - Program & is not a report program ?

  The SAP error message WO355, which states "Program & is not a report program," typically occurs when you attempt to execute a program that is not classified as a report in the SAP system. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions can help you resolve the issue.
  Cause:
  
  Program Type: The program you are trying to execute is not defined as a report program in the SAP system. In SAP, report programs are typically executable programs that can be run directly from the SAP GUI.

  Solution:
  
  Check Program Type: Verify that the program you are trying to run is indeed a report program. You can do this by checking the program attributes in the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE38 or SE80).
  Use Correct Transaction Code: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction code to execute the program. If you are unsure, consult your SAP documentation or your SAP administrator.
  Check Authorizations: Make sure you have the necessary authorizations to execute the program. You can check your roles and authorizations with transaction SU53 or by consulting your security team.
  Program Status: If the program is in development or not released, you may need to contact the developer or your SAP Basis team to get it released or to check its status.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP Workbench, you can debug the program to see if there are any issues in the code that might be causing the error.
