• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W+602 - Cursor is not on a line ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message W+602 Cursor is not on a line:
  
  SAP Error Message: W+602 Cursor is not on a line
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically occurs in the SAPscript or Smart Forms environment when you try to perform an operation that requires the cursor to be positioned on a text line, but the cursor is currently not on any valid line.
  More specifically:
  
  The cursor is placed on a blank area, a graphic, or a non-text element.
  The operation expects the cursor to be on a text line (for example, when trying to edit, delete, or format a line).
  The system cannot find a valid line under the cursor position.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  While editing SAPscript forms or Smart Forms.
  When using the SAPscript editor and trying to insert, delete, or modify lines.
  When running a program or script that manipulates the cursor position programmatically and expects it to be on a line.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Position the cursor correctly:
  
  Make sure the cursor is placed on a valid text line before performing the operation.
  Avoid placing the cursor on empty spaces, graphics, or non-text elements.
  
  
  
  Check the script or program logic:
  
  If the error occurs during automated processing, verify that the code correctly sets the cursor position.
  Add checks in the code to ensure the cursor is on a valid line before performing line-specific operations.
  
  
  
  Use SAPscript editor functions properly:
  
  Use the editor’s navigation keys or mouse to place the cursor on a line.
  Avoid using commands that assume the cursor is on a line if it is not.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the error occurs in a custom program, debug to check the cursor position variable or function.
  Adjust the logic to handle cases where the cursor might not be on a line.
