• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message J3RSPD064 - Only copies of lines can be deleted from the ALV list. ?

  The SAP error message J3RSPD064 ("Only copies of lines can be deleted from the ALV list") typically occurs in the context of an ALV (ABAP List Viewer) report where the user is trying to delete a line from the ALV output that is not a copy or a temporary entry. This error is common when working with ALV grids that allow for editing or manipulation of data.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the ALV list is designed to allow deletion only of temporary or copied entries. If the user attempts to delete a line that is part of the original dataset or not marked as a copy, the system will prevent this action and display the error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Source: Ensure that the data you are trying to manipulate is indeed a copy or a temporary entry. If it is not, you will need to create a copy of the line before attempting to delete it.
  
  
  Modify ALV Settings: If you have control over the ALV configuration, you can adjust the settings to allow for the deletion of original entries, but this is generally not recommended as it can lead to data integrity issues.
  
  
  Use the Correct Functionality: If you are trying to delete a line that is not meant to be deleted, consider whether you should be using a different function (like marking it for deletion rather than deleting it outright).
  
  
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform delete operations on the ALV list.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific ALV report you are using to understand its limitations and intended use cases.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you believe it should not be happening, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
