• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD291 - ABAP '&1' contains not only date, but also time. ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD291 indicates that there is an issue with a date-time format in an ABAP program or an OData service. Specifically, the error message states that the variable &1 contains not only a date but also a time component, which is not expected in the context where it is being used.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  A date-time field is being passed to a function or method that expects only a date.
  The data type of the variable is not correctly defined, leading to a mismatch between expected and actual data formats.
  The OData service is trying to process a date-time value where only a date is required.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the variable in question is defined as a date type (e.g., DATS) and not a date-time type (e.g., TIMS or TZNTSTMPL). If it is defined as a date-time type, change it to a date type.
  
  
  Format the Input: If you are passing a date-time value to a function that expects a date, extract only the date part from the date-time value. You can do this using ABAP string manipulation or date functions.
  Example:
  DATA: lv_datetime TYPE tzntstmpl,
        lv_date     TYPE dats.
  
  lv_datetime = '2023-10-01T12:34:56'. " Example date-time value
  lv_date = lv_datetime(10). " Extracting the date part
  
  
  Review OData Service: If this error occurs in the context of an OData service, check the service definition and ensure that the properties are correctly defined as date or date-time as per the requirements.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, use debugging tools to trace the flow of data and identify where the incorrect format is being introduced.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or community forums for any specific notes related to the error message and the context in which it occurs.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.

  ABAP Data Types: Understanding the differences between various ABAP data types (DATS, TIMS, TZNTSTMPL) can help prevent similar issues in the future.
