• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS461 - View with parameters and selection list interface cannot be combined ?

  The SAP error message DDLS461 indicates that there is an issue with a view that is trying to combine parameters and a selection list interface, which is not allowed in SAP. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify a database view in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and you have defined both parameters and a selection list interface for the same view.
  Cause:
  The main cause of this error is the conflicting definitions in the view's interface. In SAP, a view can either have parameters or a selection list interface, but not both at the same time. This is a design limitation in the way views are structured in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you need to modify the view definition to ensure that it only uses one of the two options:
  
  
  Remove Parameters: If you want to use a selection list interface, you should remove any parameters defined in the view. This means you will only use the selection criteria provided by the selection list.
  
  
  Remove Selection List Interface: If you prefer to use parameters, then you should remove the selection list interface from the view definition.
  
  
  Steps to Resolve:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Enter the name of the view that is causing the error and click on Display.
  Check the interface section of the view definition.
  Decide whether you want to keep the parameters or the selection list interface.
  Make the necessary changes:
  
  If keeping parameters, delete the selection list interface.
  If keeping the selection list interface, delete the parameters.
  
  
  Save and activate the view.
  
  Related Information:

  ABAP Programming: Familiarize yourself with how to work with parameters and selection screens in ABAP programs.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP Help documentation for more details on creating and managing views in the ABAP Dictionary.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the DDLS461 error and successfully activate your view.
