• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ083 - Program &1 type &2 is not a report (type '1') ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZ083 Program &1 type &2 is not a report (type '1')
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when a program is expected to be a report program (type '1'), but the program you are trying to execute or reference is of a different type. In SAP, programs have different types, such as:
  
  Type 1: Executable program (report)
  Type M: Module pool (dialog program)
  Type F: Function group
  Type I: Include program
  etc.
  
  The system expects a report program (type '1'), but the program you specified is not of this type.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  You are trying to execute a program that is not an executable report.
  A transaction or function module expects a report program but receives a different program type.
  You are calling a program dynamically, and the program type check fails.
  
  
  How to Check Program Type:
  You can check the program type in transaction SE38 or SE80:
  
  Go to SE38 or SE80.
  Enter the program name.
  Check the program attributes or type.
  Confirm if it is type '1' (executable report).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify the program type:
  
  If the program is not a report, you cannot run it as one.
  Use the correct executable report program.
  
  
  
  Correct the program name:
  
  Make sure the program name passed to the function or transaction is correct and corresponds to an executable report.
  
  
  
  If you need to execute a dialog program or module pool:
  
  Use the appropriate transaction or method to call it (e.g., call transaction, call dialog module).
  
  
  
  If you are developing or customizing:
  
  Ensure that the program you reference or call is of the correct type.
  If you need a report, create or use an executable program.
