  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you are trying to define a fixed column in a BSP application without specifying its width. Fixed columns are used in tables to keep certain columns visible while scrolling through the rest of the data.

  Locate the Table Definition: Find the section of the code where the table is defined. This is usually in the HTML or the BSP application code.
  
  
  Specify the Width: For the fixed column, you need to add a width attribute in pixels. For example, if you are using a table definition in HTML, it might look something like this:
  <table>
      <colgroup>
          <col style="width: 100px;" /> <!-- Fixed column with width -->
          <col style="width: auto;" />  <!-- Other columns -->
      </colgroup>
      ...
  </table>
  Ensure that the fixed column has a specific width defined (e.g., 100px).
  
  
  Save and Test: After making the changes, save the BSP application and test it to ensure that the error is resolved.
