  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP117 - Mark a line in the list
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when an operation requires the user to select (mark) at least one line/item from a list, but no line has been selected. For example, in transaction screens or reports where you need to choose one or more entries to proceed (e.g., delete, change, display details), the system expects you to mark a line before continuing.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to execute an action that requires a selection from a list but haven't selected any line.
  Common in list processing screens, ALV grids, or selection tables.
  Typical in transactions like sales order processing, material lists, or workflow tasks where you must select an item to act upon.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a line: Simply mark (select) one or more lines in the list before pressing the action button (e.g., Change, Delete, Display).
  Check selection method: Use the checkbox or highlight the line depending on the UI design.
  If no lines are available: Verify if the list is populated correctly. If the list is empty, no selection is possible, so check the selection criteria or data availability.
  User training: Ensure users understand that they must select a line before proceeding.
