• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TD780 - Imported text was inserted at the cursor position ?

  The SAP error message TD780, which states "Imported text was inserted at the cursor position," typically occurs when you are trying to import text into a text field in SAP, and the system is indicating that the text has been inserted at the current cursor position rather than replacing the existing text.
  Cause:
  
  Cursor Position: The error usually arises when the cursor is not positioned correctly in the text field. If the cursor is in the middle of existing text, the new text will be inserted at that position instead of replacing the existing text.
  Text Import Method: The method used to import text may not be compatible with the expected behavior of the text field.
  Field Length: If the text being imported exceeds the maximum length of the text field, it may cause issues during the import process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Cursor Position: Ensure that the cursor is positioned at the beginning of the text field if you want to replace the existing text. If you want to insert text, position the cursor where you want the new text to appear.
  Use Correct Import Method: Make sure you are using the correct method for importing text. If you are using a specific transaction or program to import text, refer to the documentation to ensure you are following the correct procedure.
  Verify Text Length: Check the length of the text you are trying to import. If it exceeds the maximum allowed length for the field, you may need to truncate the text or use a different field that can accommodate the text.
  Manual Entry: If the import continues to fail, consider manually entering the text to ensure it is placed correctly.
