  The SAP error message DMC_DTL335 indicates that a calculation can only be performed in Dialog ('D') or Batch ('B') processing modes. This error typically arises in the context of data management or data calculation processes within SAP, particularly when using the Data Management Cockpit (DMC) or similar tools.
  Cause:
  
  Processing Mode: The error suggests that the operation you are trying to perform is not supported in the current processing mode. This could happen if the system is trying to execute a calculation in a mode that does not allow it, such as in a background job or in a mode that is not interactive.

  Data Locking: If the data being processed is locked or if there are other transactions that are preventing the calculation from being executed in the required mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Dialog or Batch Mode: Ensure that the calculation is being executed in either Dialog or Batch mode. If you are running a report or transaction, try executing it directly from the SAP GUI rather than through a background job or automated process.
  Check Job Configuration: If you are running a background job, check the job configuration to ensure it is set to run in a mode that supports the required calculations.
  Review Transaction Settings: If applicable, review the settings of the transaction or program you are using to ensure it is configured correctly for the type of processing you need.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction or program to understand its requirements and limitations regarding processing modes.
