• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_EA024 - List output mode & only with hdr data list or combined hdr/item list ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message WS_EA024:
  
  SAP Error Message: WS_EA024
  Message Text:
  
  List output mode & only with hdr data list or combined hdr/item list
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in the context of SAP Script or Smart Forms output processing, specifically when dealing with the list output mode settings for forms or print programs.
  
  The message indicates that the list output mode parameter has been set incorrectly or inconsistently.
  The system expects the list output mode to be either:
  
  Header data list only, or
  Combined header/item list.
  
  
  If the list output mode is set to something else or incompatible with the data structure being processed, this error is triggered.
  
  In other words, the output mode parameter controlling how the data is processed and displayed in the list is not aligned with the expected modes that the form or print program supports.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When printing or generating output using SAP Script or Smart Forms.
  When the print program or form expects a certain list output mode but receives a different or unsupported mode.
  Often related to the use of function modules like WRITE_FORM or SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME where the list output mode is passed as a parameter.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the List Output Mode Parameter:
  
  Review the print program or the function module call that triggers the form output.
  Ensure that the list output mode parameter is set to one of the supported values:
  
  Header data list only
  Combined header/item list
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust the Print Program or Form Settings:
  
  If you are using a custom print program, verify how the list output mode is set.
  For standard SAP forms, check the form interface and ensure the parameters passed are correct.
  
  
  
  Consult the Form or Print Program Documentation:
  
  Check the documentation or SAP notes related to the specific form or print program.
  Sometimes, the form expects a certain mode depending on the data structure (header only or header + item).
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Debug the print program or the function module call to see what value is passed for the list output mode.
  Trace back to where this parameter is set and correct it.
