Obligatory Selection Screen Parameters - ABAP Police

Obligatory selection screen parameters can interfere with user command logic and break selection screens. Assigning the parameter a required attribute value of 2 makes it "recommended" rather than obligatory, avoiding automatic validation. Validation can then be done conditionally on user actions like executing the report. This fixes issues like disabled fields and prevents errors when clicking buttons.
