• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_DYNAMIC_SELECT012 - You did not specify any selection criteria - selection cancelled ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_DYNAMIC_SELECT012: You did not specify any selection criteria - selection cancelled
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to execute a report, query, or selection screen without entering any selection criteria. The system requires at least one selection criterion to limit the data retrieved; otherwise, it cancels the selection to prevent processing an unfiltered, potentially very large dataset.
  In other words, the selection screen or dynamic selection screen expects the user to specify some filter conditions. If none are provided, the system raises this message and cancels the operation.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When running reports or queries with dynamic selections.
  When the selection screen is designed to require at least one input.
  When the program logic explicitly checks for empty selection criteria and raises this message to avoid full table scans or large data retrieval.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify at least one selection criterion:
  Before executing the report or query, enter at least one valid filter value
