• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_IV262 - Only single value selection is permitted in dialog mode ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_IV262 - Only single value selection is permitted in dialog mode
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to select multiple values in a selection screen or dialog where only a single value is allowed. In SAP, certain input fields or parameters are designed to accept only one value at a time during dialog execution (interactive mode). If the user attempts to input or select multiple values (e.g., multiple entries in a selection table or multiple ranges), the system raises this error.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  Selection screens with parameters defined as single-value fields but the user tries to input multiple values.
  Dialog modules or function modules that expect a single value but receive multiple values.
  Using multiple selections or ranges in a field that only supports single value input.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that only a single value is entered or selected in the relevant field during dialog mode.
  Steps to fix:
  
  
  Check the selection screen or input field:
  
  Verify if the field is defined as a single-value parameter (PARAMETERS) or a select-option with single value restriction.
  If multiple values are needed, consider changing the field definition to allow multiple selections (SELECT-OPTIONS).
  
  
  
  Adjust user input:
  
  Instruct users to enter only one value in the field.
  Avoid using multiple selections or ranges if the field does not support them.
  
  
  
  Modify the program logic (if you have development access):
  
  If the business requirement demands multiple values, change the parameter from PARAMETERS to SELECT-OPTIONS.
  Adjust the processing logic to handle multiple values accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check the mode of execution:
  
  This error is specific to dialog mode (interactive). If batch mode or background processing is used, multiple values might be allowed.
  Ensure the program or transaction is used in the correct mode.
