How To Fix PC027 - The list viewer cannot be started; list object exported

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PC - Graphics interface messages

• Message number: 027

• Message text: The list viewer cannot be started; list object exported

What causes this issue?

An attempt was made to copy a list object to the frontend computer and
to load it there into the local XXL list viewer.

System Response

The local list viewer is not fully operational. Reasons for this could
be that the frontend computer is not running under MS Windows, that MS
Excel is not available or that the local installation of the list
viewer is defective.

How to fix this error?

Have the installation of the XXL mechanism on your PC checked. It may
not be possible to export the list object to the list viewer without
immediate loading. If this is the case, you just need to start the list
viewer and then to load the list object later manually.
You may have to export the list object later from another PC. If
necessary, you could store the list object in the meantime in SAPoffice
under a name of your choice.
