  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    The system has arranged the fields you want to copy to the screen in
    the form of a rectangle where each field name occupies one line. Fields
    with the same name appear on the same line, with the field text (key
    word) followed by the input/output field (template). These pairs are
    then arranged one below the other.
    The cursor position determines the top left corner of the rectangle on
    the screen.
    There is not enough space in this position to accommodate the whole
    rectangle, i.e. all the fields to be copied.

    System Response

    No fields were copied.

    How to fix this error?

    Try to find enough free space on another part of the screen and repeat
    the function.
    You can also return to the selection list by choosing <LS>Dict./program
    fields</> and either reduce the number of fields to be copied or the
    amount of space thy require.

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.
