  SAP Error Message:
  W8084 Access with line index () is not possible for element & (one line)
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically occurs when a program or function module tries to access a line of an internal table using a line index that is either zero, negative, or exceeds the number of lines in the internal table. In other words, the code attempts to read or modify a line that does not exist.
  
  The line index is invalid or not set.
  The internal table is empty or smaller than the requested line index.
  The element (field or structure) being accessed is not available at the specified index.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  In ABAP, internal tables are accessed by line index using syntax like itab[index].
  If index is out of range (e.g., 0, negative, or greater than the number of lines), SAP raises this warning.
