Basis Errors and Solutions

Symptom

You have a maintenance view with some Selection Conditions pre-defined. These selection conditions are defined in ranges (using GT, GE, LE and LT options). The conditions are for non-CHAR fields.
When you goto SM30 to display/maintain the view data, you enter new values for the above selection conditions. You observe some of the following behavior -
1) You enter new lower and upper limit values to reduce the range
(new value lower limit > pre-defined value lower limit,
new value upper limit < pre-defined value upper limit)
Still, the selection happens only for the pre-defined values.
2) Your pre-defined condition contains a lower limit. Even if you enter
a higher value for the lower limit in the screen, you get an error
message.
3) You have maintained an upper limit using the GE operator. On screen, you enter a value lower than this. The selection still happens for the pre-defined value. The on-screen value is not read.
4) On-screen selection values are not taken into consideration, when you create new data or change existing data values.
