  The SAP error message BSP_DLC_TOOLS063: Total width of 0% is not allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Application Server (WAS) or when working with Business Server Pages (BSP). This error indicates that there is an issue with the layout configuration of a BSP application, specifically related to the width settings of the elements defined in the layout.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the total width of the layout elements being set to 0%. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect or missing width settings in the BSP application layout.
  CSS styles that inadvertently set the width of certain elements to 0%.
  Misconfiguration in the BSP application or the underlying HTML/CSS structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Layout Configuration:
  
  Review the layout settings of your BSP application. Ensure that all elements have a defined width that adds up to a non-zero total.
  If you are using a table or grid layout, ensure that the sum of the widths of all columns is greater than 0%.
  
  
  
  Inspect CSS Styles:
  
  Look for any CSS rules that might be setting the width of elements to 0%. This could be in external stylesheets or inline styles.
  Modify the CSS to ensure that widths are set appropriately.
  
  
  
  Adjust HTML Structure:
  
  If you are using HTML tables or divs, ensure that they are structured correctly and that their widths are defined.
  Make sure that parent containers have a defined width that allows child elements to render properly.
  
  
  
  Use Absolute or Relative Widths:
  
  Instead of using percentages, consider using fixed pixel values or relative units (like em or rem) for widths to avoid issues with percentage calculations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the BSP application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the layout appears as expected.
