  SAP Error Message: WR030
  Message Text:
  
  Position the cursor on a message line
  
  Cause
  The error message WR030 typically occurs in SAP when you are working with a list or output that contains multiple messages or lines, and the system expects you to position the cursor on a specific message line before performing an action (such as displaying details, processing, or navigating further).
  In other words, the system requires you to select or highlight a particular message line to proceed, but you have not done so. This is common in transaction codes or reports where multiple messages or entries are displayed, and the system needs to know which one you want to work with.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to execute a function (like display details, delete, or process) on a list of messages or entries without selecting a specific line.
  In message logs, output lists, or batch job logs where multiple messages are shown.
  In certain SAP modules like Workflow, Batch Input, or Output Management where message lists are common.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Position the cursor on a message line:
  
  Before executing the function or action, click on the specific message line you want to work with. This means placing the cursor (highlighting) on the line in the list or output screen.
  
  
  Select the line explicitly:
  
  Sometimes, you may need to select the line by clicking on the line number or checkbox if available.
  
  
  Check the screen for selection options:
  
  Some screens provide buttons or options to select lines; use them accordingly.
  
  
  If using keyboard:
  
  Use arrow keys or navigation keys to move the cursor to the desired message line before proceeding.
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This message is informational and guides the user to make a selection.
  It is not an error caused by system malfunction but by user action (or inaction).
  If you encounter this message frequently in a custom program or report, consider enhancing the user interface to make line selection clearer.
  In some cases, this message can be suppressed or handled programmatically by checking if a line is selected before proceeding.
  
  
  Example Scenario
  You run a batch job and view the job log. The log shows multiple messages. You want to see details of a particular message, but you click the "Details" button without selecting any message line. SAP then shows WR030 asking you to position the cursor on a message line first.
