- The mode &1 is not valid: edit(&2) or display (&3) are allowed ?Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
SAP Error Message:
WER184 The mode &1 is not valid: edit(&2) or display (&3) are allowed
Cause:
This error occurs when a program or transaction tries to set a screen or a function module in a mode that is not supported. The message indicates that the mode passed to the screen or function is invalid. The system expects the mode to be either edit or display, but it received a different mode.
&1
= The invalid mode passed.&2
= Allowed mode "edit".&3
= Allowed mode "display".For example, if the program tries to call a screen or function module with mode "create" or "delete" but only "edit" or "display" are allowed, this error will be raised.
Check the mode parameter being passed to the function module or screen.
'E'
(edit) or 'D'
(display), or whatever the allowed values are for that particular function or screen.Debug the program to find where the mode is set or passed.
Correct the mode value in the code or configuration.
Refer to SAP documentation or function module documentation to confirm allowed modes.
If a function module expects mode 'E'
or 'D'
but receives 'C'
(create), the error will occur.
CALL FUNCTION 'SOME_FUNCTION_MODULE'
EXPORTING
mode = 'C'. " Invalid mode, should be 'E' or 'D'
Change to:
CALL FUNCTION 'SOME_FUNCTION_MODULE'
EXPORTING
mode = 'E'. " Valid mode
