SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WUSL - Messages for where-used list

• Message number: 333

• Message text: The value 24:00:00 cannot be used for the selection

What causes this issue?

You entered the value 24:00:00 as the time. SE16N stores this value in a
generic character field. When the system checks the values in the
database interface, this character field results in an error since the
time 24:00:00 is not a valid value. Therefore, a selection with this
value results in a short dump SAPSQL_DATA_LOSS.

System Response

This entry is not allowed. If you have entered the value in the from
field, the system deletes your entry. Since the database should not
contain any data with the value 24:00:00, a selection with the
from-value is not useful.
If you have entered the value in the to-value because you want to select
an interval of times, the system suggests the value 23:59:59. This is
the maximum possible time. 24:00:00 is 00:00:00 of the next day and
therefore cannot be in the interval.
Alternatively, you can choose 'greater than or equal to' as the option
and enter only its start value.

How to fix this error?

Generally, you do not need to take any action since the system suggests
an appropriate value.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
