  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GRWR868 - The width of the symbol must be at least 1 ?

    The SAP error message GRWR868, which states "The width of the symbol must be at least 1," typically occurs in the context of SAP Graphics or SAP Smart Forms when you are trying to create or modify a graphical element (like a symbol or a shape) that has been assigned a width of zero or is not properly defined.

    Cause:

    1. Zero Width: The most common cause of this error is that a graphical element (like a line, rectangle, or other shapes) has been defined with a width of zero. This can happen if the width is set incorrectly in the properties of the graphic element.
    2. Invalid Configuration: The configuration of the graphic element may not be valid, leading to the system interpreting the width as zero.
    3. Data Input Error: If the width is being set dynamically based on input data, there may be an issue with the data being passed, resulting in a width of zero.

    Solution:

    1. Check Properties: Go to the properties of the graphical element that is causing the error and ensure that the width is set to at least 1. Adjust the width value accordingly.
    2. Review Dynamic Values: If the width is being set dynamically, check the logic or data that determines the width. Ensure that it is not resulting in a zero value.
    3. Redefine the Element: If the element is not displaying correctly, consider deleting and recreating it to ensure that all properties are set correctly.
    4. Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Smart Forms or Graphics for more detailed information on how to configure graphical elements.
    • SAP Community: You can search for discussions or similar issues in the SAP Community forums, where other users may have encountered and resolved the same error.
    • Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools within SAP to trace the execution and identify where the width is being set incorrectly.
