  The SAP error message 3G254 with the description "Int.error: No index entries in int. table mode_idx for selected line" typically occurs in the context of SAP's internal table processing, particularly when dealing with index tables. This error indicates that the system is unable to find the necessary index entries for the specified line in the internal table mode_idx.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Index Entries: The most common cause is that the index entries for the specified line do not exist in the internal table. This could happen if the data was not properly populated or if there was an issue during data processing.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the system from locating the required index entries.
  Program Logic Error: There could be a bug or logical error in the ABAP program that is trying to access the index entries.

  Check Data Population: Ensure that the internal table mode_idx is correctly populated with the necessary index entries before the line is accessed. You may need to debug the program to see where the data is being populated.
  Review Program Logic: Analyze the ABAP code to ensure that the logic for accessing the internal table is correct. Look for any conditions that might prevent the index from being populated.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the data to ensure that there are no discrepancies that could lead to missing index entries.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in the ABAP code to gracefully manage situations where index entries are missing, possibly by logging the error and providing a fallback mechanism.
