• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ090 - Program &1 is not a report (program type '1') ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZ090 Program &1 is not a report (program type '1')
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to execute or call a program that is expected to be a report program (type '1'), but the specified program is not of this type. In SAP, programs have different types, such as:
  
  Type 1: Executable report programs
  Type M: Module pool programs (dialog programs)
  Type F: Function groups
  Type I: Include programs
  etc.
  
  If you try to run or call a program as a report, but the program is, for example, a module pool or an include, SAP will raise this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to execute a program via transaction code SE38 or SA38, or via a custom call, and the program is not an executable report.
  When a program is called dynamically (e.g., via SUBMIT or CALL TRANSACTION) but the program type is not suitable.
  When a program name is passed incorrectly or the program was changed or deleted.
  
  
  How to check the program type:
  
  Go to transaction SE38 or SE80.
  Enter the program name.
  Check the program attributes (menu: Program -> Attributes).
  Verify the program type (Executable, Module pool, Include, etc.).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify the program name: Make sure the program name you are trying to execute is correct.
  Check the program type: If the program is not an executable report, you cannot run it directly.
  Use the correct method to call the program:
  
  If it is a module pool (dialog program), use CALL TRANSACTION or start it via its transaction code.
  If it is an include or function group, it cannot be executed directly.
  
  
  Correct the program call in your code or configuration: If the program is called dynamically, ensure the program type matches the expected type.
  If the program was changed or deleted: Restore or correct the program.

  Example:
  If you try to run a module pool program (type 'M') as a report, you will get this error. Instead, you should run the transaction code associated with that module pool.
