• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 37095 - Previous columns are also fixed ?

  The SAP error message 37095, which states "Previous columns are also fixed," typically occurs in the context of SAP reporting or data extraction, particularly when working with ALV (ABAP List Viewer) reports or similar functionalities. This error indicates that there is an issue with the layout or configuration of the report, specifically related to the fixed columns in the output.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Column Configuration: You may have attempted to fix a column in the report layout while other columns are already set to be fixed. In ALV reports, you can only fix a certain number of columns, and trying to fix additional columns beyond the allowed limit can trigger this error.
  Inconsistent Settings: There may be inconsistencies in the settings of the report layout, such as trying to fix columns that are not compatible with the current configuration.
  User Settings: The user-specific settings for the report might be causing conflicts, especially if the user has previously saved a layout that conflicts with the current attempt to modify the layout.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Review Fixed Columns: Check the current configuration of fixed columns in the report. Ensure that you are not trying to fix more columns than allowed. You may need to unfix some columns before fixing new ones.
  
  
  Reset Layout: If you are unsure about the current layout settings, you can reset the layout to the default settings. This can often resolve conflicts caused by user-specific settings.
  
  In ALV reports, you can usually find an option to reset the layout in the menu (e.g., Layout > Reset).
  
  
  
  Modify Layout: If you have access to the report's layout configuration, you can modify it to ensure that only the desired columns are fixed. This may involve adjusting the settings in the report's layout management.
  
  
  Check User-Specific Settings: If the issue persists, check if there are any user-specific settings that might be causing the conflict. You can do this by going to the layout management options and reviewing saved layouts.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are still facing issues, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to ALV reports and layout management for more detailed guidance.
