  • What causes this issue?

    An attempt was made to transfer a list object to the front-end computer
    and to load it there into the local XXL list viewer.

    System Response

    The local list viewer either does not exist or else cannot be started
    from R/3. This is probably because the front-end computer does not run
    under MS Windows. In certain environments (OS/2, for example), the list
    viewer can be used, but cannot be started from R/3.

    How to fix this error?

    Try to export the list object again without requesting the automatic
    start of the list viewer (not possible in all R/3 applications) and
    then start the local XXL list viewer manually.
    If this does not work, you will need to export the list object from a
    different PC. It may be possible to store the list object until then in
    SAPoffice under a name of your choice (not, however, allowed by all R/3
    applications).
