  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_GLO_010002 with the description "Position the cursor on the entry to be processed" typically occurs in the context of using the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) in SAP. This error indicates that the system expects the user to select or position the cursor on a specific entry in a list or table before proceeding with an action.
  Cause:
  
  Cursor Positioning: The error usually arises when the user attempts to execute an action (like processing, editing, or deleting) without having the cursor positioned on a valid entry in the list.
  Empty Selection: If the user has not selected any entry or if the selection is invalid, the system will prompt this error.
  User Interface Issue: Sometimes, the user interface may not be responsive, or there may be a glitch that prevents the cursor from being positioned correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Position the Cursor: Ensure that you click on the specific entry in the list that you want to process. The cursor should be visibly on that entry.
  Check for Valid Entries: Make sure that there are valid entries in the list. If the list is empty or if the entry is not selectable, you will need to address that first.

  Use Keyboard Navigation: If you are having trouble with the mouse, try using the keyboard (arrow keys) to navigate to the desired entry.
  Review Documentation: Check the LSMW documentation or SAP notes for any specific instructions related to the transaction you are performing.
