• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BSP_DLC_TOOLS051 - In case of a scrollable table, only unit "px" is allowed ?

  The SAP error message BSP_DLC_TOOLS051 indicates that there is an issue with the unit of measurement used for the dimensions of a scrollable table in a Business Server Page (BSP) application. Specifically, it states that only the unit "px" (pixels) is allowed for scrollable tables.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you attempt to set the width or height of a scrollable table using a unit of measurement other than pixels (e.g., percentages, ems, etc.). The BSP framework enforces this restriction to ensure consistent rendering and behavior of scrollable tables across different browsers and devices.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that any dimensions (width or height) specified for the scrollable table are defined using pixels. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  
  Locate the Table Definition: Find the section of your BSP application where the scrollable table is defined.
  
  
  Modify the Dimensions: Change any width or height attributes that are not in pixels to use pixel values. For example:
  
  Instead of using width="100%", change it to width="800px" (or any other pixel value that suits your layout).
  Instead of using height="50%", change it to height="400px" (or another appropriate pixel value).
  
  
  
  Check CSS Styles: If you are using CSS to define the dimensions, ensure that the CSS rules for the scrollable table also use pixel values.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the changes, test the BSP application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the table displays correctly.
