  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ458 - Scrolling not possible
  
  Cause:
  The error message WZ458 - Scrolling not possible typically occurs in SAP when a user attempts to scroll through a list or table, but the system cannot perform the scrolling action. This usually happens because:
  
  The dataset or internal table being displayed does not contain enough entries to scroll.
  The user is trying to scroll beyond the available data range.
  The screen or ALV grid control is not properly initialized or refreshed.
  There might be an issue with the program logic controlling the scrolling functionality.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WZ458 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Availability:
  
  Verify that the internal table or dataset contains enough records to allow scrolling.
  If the dataset is too small (e.g., fewer rows than the visible area), scrolling is naturally not possible.
  
  
  
  Program Logic Review:
  
  If you are developing or customizing the program, ensure that the scrolling logic correctly handles the dataset boundaries.
  Make sure the scroll position is within the valid range of the dataset.
  
  
  
  Refresh or Reinitialize the Screen:
  
  Sometimes, refreshing the screen or reinitializing the ALV grid or list display can resolve the issue.
  Use appropriate function modules or methods to refresh the display.
  
  
  
  Check for SAP Notes or Patches:
  
  Look up SAP Notes related to message WZ458 for any known bugs or patches.
  Apply relevant corrections if available.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Inform users that scrolling is only possible when there is more data than can be displayed on the screen.
  Avoid attempting to scroll when the dataset is too small.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Message Class: WZ (related to list processing or scrolling)
  Context: Often seen in custom reports or standard SAP transactions involving lists or ALV grids.
  Transaction Codes: May appear in various transactions where list scrolling is implemented.
  Debugging Tips:
  
  Use the ABAP debugger to check the internal table size and scroll parameters.
  Check the values of scroll indices or pointers before the scrolling action.
