• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W8319 - Position the cursor on an expression ?

  SAP Error Message:
  W8319 - Position the cursor on an expression
  
  
  Cause:
  The warning message W8319 typically occurs in the SAP Query or ABAP Query environment when the system expects the user to position the cursor on a valid expression or field in a logical expression or condition, but the cursor is not correctly placed. This usually happens when you are trying to create or edit a logical condition or a calculation, and the system cannot identify the expression or field you want to work with because the cursor is not on a valid part of the expression.
  In other words, the system requires the cursor to be positioned on a specific field, operator, or expression element to perform the intended action (like editing, inserting, or evaluating), but the cursor is currently on an invalid or empty space.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  While defining or editing logical conditions in SAP Query.
  When working with conditions or formulas
