  Error Message
  WS_MASS202: Enter at least one value to be changed
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP when you are trying to perform a mass change (for example, in transaction codes related to mass maintenance like WS02, WS03, or other mass change tools) but have not specified any field or value to be changed.
  In other words, the system expects you to select or enter at least one field with a new value that you want to update for the selected objects. If you leave all the change fields empty, the system cannot proceed because there is no data to update.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During mass changes of work schedules, personnel data, or other master data.
  When you open the mass change screen, select objects to change, but do not specify any new values in the change fields.
  When the selection criteria are entered, but the actual change fields are left blank.
  
  
  Solution
  
  Enter at least one value in the change fields: Before executing the mass change, make sure you specify at least one field with a new value that you want to update.
  Check the screen for change fields: Scroll through the mass change screen to ensure you have not missed any fields where you need to enter the new data.
  Verify the selection: Ensure that you have selected the correct objects or records to be changed.
  Save and execute: After entering the new values, save and execute the mass change.
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This message is a standard validation to prevent accidental execution of mass changes without any actual changes, which could lead to confusion or unnecessary processing.
  If you are unsure which fields can be changed, refer to the documentation or help for the specific mass change transaction you are using.
  Sometimes, the screen layout or user interface might hide some fields; ensure that all relevant tabs or sections are checked.
  If you are using a custom mass change program or transaction, verify that the program logic correctly handles the input fields.
  
  
  Example Scenario
  You are using transaction WS02 (Mass Change of Work Schedules). You select several employees but do not enter any new work schedule or other data in the change fields. When you try to execute, SAP throws WS_MASS202 because no change values were entered.
  Fix: Enter a new work schedule or other relevant data in the change fields before executing.
