• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W+604 - No block selected ?

  Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message W+604 No block selected:
  
  SAP Error Message: W+604 No block selected
  
  Cause:
  The error message W+604 No block selected typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an operation that requires selecting one or more blocks (rows, entries, or items) in a list or table, but no block has been selected.
  
  In SAP GUI, many transactions display data in blocks or lists.
  Certain functions (like processing, deleting, or changing entries) require the user to explicitly select one or more blocks.
  If the user tries to execute such a function without selecting any block, the system raises this message.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you press a function key or button that operates on selected blocks but no block is highlighted or marked.
  For example, in transactions like SM35 (Batch Input Monitoring), SM37 (Job Monitoring), or other list processing transactions.
  It can also occur in custom programs or reports that use block selection logic.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select a block before executing the function:
  
  Use the mouse or keyboard to highlight or mark the required block(s) in the list.
  For example, click on the row or use the selection checkbox if available.
  
  
  
  Check the screen for selection options:
  
  Some screens have checkboxes or selection indicators; ensure you have marked the relevant entries.
  
  
  
  If using keyboard shortcuts:
  
  Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the block.
  Sometimes pressing the spacebar selects the block.
  
  
  
  If the error occurs in a custom program:
  
  Check the program logic to ensure it correctly handles block selection.
  Developers may need to add validation or default selection.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP documentation or support:
  
  If unsure which blocks to select, refer to the transaction documentation or SAP notes.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Message Class: W+6xx series messages are usually warnings related to selection or processing.
