• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLPL750 - You cannot create long texts in display mode ?

  The SAP error message GLPL750, which states "You cannot create long texts in display mode," typically occurs when a user attempts to create or edit long texts in a transaction that is currently in display mode rather than edit mode. This restriction is in place because display mode does not allow for modifications to the data.
  Cause:
  
  The user is trying to create or modify long texts while in display mode.
  The transaction or screen being accessed is not set up to allow editing of long texts in the current mode.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to switch from display mode to edit mode. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  Switch to Edit Mode: Look for an "Edit" button or option in the SAP GUI. This is usually represented by a pencil icon or an "Edit" menu option.
  Reopen the Transaction: If you are unable to switch to edit mode, you may need to exit the transaction and reopen it in edit mode.
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to edit long texts. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator to grant you the appropriate access.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction code that allows for editing long texts. Some transactions may only allow display functionality.
