• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_STR013 - Variable &1 does not support type "Multiple Selection" (Select Options) ?

  The SAP error message WRF_STR013 indicates that a variable you are trying to use in a selection screen does not support the "Multiple Selection" type, which is typically used for select-options. This error often arises in the context of reports or queries where you are trying to filter data based on a variable that is not configured to accept multiple values.
  Cause:
  
  Variable Type Mismatch: The variable you are using is defined as a single value variable (e.g., parameter) instead of a multiple selection variable (e.g., select-options).
  Incorrect Configuration: The variable might be incorrectly configured in the report or query definition, leading to the system not recognizing it as capable of handling multiple selections.
  Data Source Limitations: The underlying data source or query might not support multiple selections for that specific variable.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Variable Definition: Go to the variable definition in the report or query and ensure that it is set up as a "Select-Options" type if you intend to allow multiple selections.
  
  In the ABAP code, ensure that you are using SELECT-OPTIONS instead of PARAMETER for the variable.
  
  Example:
  SELECT-OPTIONS: s_var FOR your_field.
  
  
  Modify the Report/Query: If you are using a query or report that allows for variable input, ensure that the variable is defined correctly to accept multiple values.
  
  
  Review Data Source: If the variable is tied to a specific data source, check if that data source supports multiple selections for the variable in question. If not, you may need to adjust your approach or use a different variable that does support it.
