  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6B130 - It is not possible to display the selection list during background proc. ?

    The SAP error message 6B130 ("It is not possible to display the selection list during background processing") typically occurs when a report or program is executed in the background and attempts to display a selection list or output that is not compatible with background processing.

    Cause:

    1. Background Processing Limitation: When a program is run in the background, it does not have a user interface to display selection lists or interactive dialogs. If the program tries to call a function that requires user interaction or displays a selection list, this error will occur.
    2. Program Logic: The program may have logic that is designed to display output or selection lists that are only meant for interactive sessions.
    3. Incorrect Job Configuration: The job may be incorrectly configured to expect user interaction.

    Solution:

    1. Modify the Program: If you have access to the program code, you can modify it to ensure that it does not attempt to display selection lists or interactive dialogs when running in the background. This can be done by checking the processing mode (background vs. foreground) and adjusting the logic accordingly.
      • Use ABAP statements like if sy-batch = 'X' to check if the program is running in the background.
    2. Use Background-Compatible Reports: Ensure that the report or program you are trying to run in the background is designed to be executed in that mode. Some standard SAP reports have specific variants for background processing.
    3. Check Job Configuration: Review the configuration of the background job to ensure that it is set up correctly and does not expect any user interaction.
    4. Use Variants: If applicable, create and use variants for the report that are specifically designed for background processing, which do not require user input.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific fixes or recommendations related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.
    • Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific report or program to understand its requirements and limitations regarding background processing.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 (to monitor background jobs) and SE38 (to execute programs) for better management of background jobs.

    If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or ABAP development team for further assistance.
