  The SAP error message CY355 ("Target file for the list could not be opened") typically occurs when there is an issue with the system trying to generate or access a file that is intended to store output data, such as a report or list. This error can arise due to various reasons, including file path issues, permissions, or system configuration.
  Causes:
  
  File Path Issues: The specified path for the output file may be incorrect or does not exist.
