  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SE603 - Please position cursor on existing line ?

    The SAP error message SE603, which states "Please position cursor on existing line," typically occurs in the SAP GUI when you are trying to perform an action that requires you to select a specific line or entry in a list or table, but the cursor is not positioned on a valid line.

    Cause:

    1. Cursor Position: The most common cause of this error is that the cursor is not placed on a valid line in the list or table. This can happen if you click outside of the rows or if there are no entries available.
    2. Empty List: If the list or table you are trying to interact with is empty, the system will not have any valid lines to select.
    3. Incorrect Navigation: Sometimes, navigating through the interface incorrectly can lead to this error, especially if you are trying to execute a function that requires a selection.

    Solution:

    1. Position the Cursor: Ensure that you click on a valid line in the list or table. The cursor should be on an existing entry before you attempt to perform any action.
    2. Check for Entries: Make sure that the list or table you are trying to work with has entries. If it is empty, you will need to create or load data into it.
    3. Refresh the View: If you believe there should be entries present, try refreshing the view or reloading the data to ensure that the latest information is displayed.
    4. Use Keyboard Navigation: Instead of using the mouse, try using the keyboard (e.g., arrow keys) to navigate to a valid line and then perform the action.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: This error can occur in various transaction codes where lists or tables are involved, such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or SE37 (Function Module).
