  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:
  
  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.
