  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /INCMD/MSG097 - Field &1 satisfies the condition of equality in the field catalog ?

    The SAP error message /INCMD/MSG097 Field &1 satisfies the condition of equality in the field catalog typically occurs in the context of using the SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe or when dealing with field catalogs in ABAP programs.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
