• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_EXT_POST029 - Selection option &1 unpermitted (allowed: EQ, NE, BT, NB, CP, NP) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_EXT_POST029 Selection option &1 unpermitted (allowed: EQ, NE, BT, NB, CP, NP)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a selection option in a report, query, or program uses a comparison operator that is not allowed by the underlying logic or validation rules. The message indicates that the selection option operator you used is invalid, and only the following operators are permitted:
  
  EQ (Equal)
  NE (Not Equal)
  BT (Between)
  NB (Not Between)
  CP (Contains Pattern, i.e., wildcard)
  NP (Not Contains Pattern)
  
  If you use any other operator (for example, GT (Greater Than), LT (Less Than), GE (Greater or Equal), LE (Less or Equal)), the system will raise this error.
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  You are running a report or query and enter a selection criterion.
  You choose an operator like "Greater than" (GT) or "Less than" (LT) which is not allowed for that particular selection field.
  The program validates the selection options and throws this error because it only supports the operators listed above.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the selection criteria you entered:
  
  Review the selection screen and ensure that the operator you use for the field is one of the allowed operators: EQ, NE, BT, NB, CP, or NP.
  
  
  Adjust your selection operator:  
  
  If you used GT, LT, GE, or LE, change it to an allowed operator.
  For example, instead of GT (greater than), you might use BT (between) with a range starting from the next value.
  
  
  
  If you are a developer or customizing consultant:  
  
  Check the code or the selection screen definition (e.g., in ABAP program or query).
  The selection option might be restricted programmatically using SELECT-OPTIONS or PARAMETERS with a restricted set of operators.
  Modify the code if necessary to allow additional operators, but only if business logic permits.
  
  
  
  Consult documentation or functional specs:
  
  Sometimes, the limitation is intentional due to business rules or data consistency requirements.

  Selection Option Operators in SAP:
  
  SAP selection options allow various operators, but some reports or programs restrict these to ensure valid data retrieval.
  
  
  Common Operators:  
  
  EQ = Equal  
  NE = Not Equal  
  GT = Greater Than  
  LT = Less Than  
  GE = Greater or Equal  
  LE = Less or Equal  
  BT = Between  
  NB = Not Between  
  CP = Contains Pattern (wildcards allowed)  
  NP = Not Contains Pattern
  
  
  
  Where to check:  
  
  Selection screen of the report or transaction  
  ABAP code for SELECT-OPTIONS or PARAMETERS statements  
  User input validation logic
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Use of an unpermitted selection operator in a selection option (e.g., GT, LT not allowed)
  
  
  Allowed Operators
  EQ, NE, BT, NB, CP, NP
  
  
  Solution
  Change the operator to one of the allowed ones; adjust selection criteria accordingly
  
  
  Additional
  Check program logic or consult functional specs if modification is needed
