• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2038 - You selected more than two rows ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2038 – "You selected more than two rows"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the ALE (Application Link Enabling) Monitor when a user tries to select more than two rows simultaneously in a context where the system expects a maximum of two rows to be selected. The ALE Monitor transaction or report is designed to handle only one or two selections at a time for certain operations (e.g., comparing or processing data between two entries). Selecting more than two rows violates this constraint, triggering the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select only one or two rows: Review your selection and limit it to a maximum of two rows before executing the operation.
  Check the transaction or report documentation: Confirm the allowed number of selections for the specific function you are performing.
  If multiple rows need processing: Consider processing them in batches of one or two rows at a time.
  Custom development: If your business process requires handling more than two rows simultaneously, consult your SAP technical team to explore possible enhancements or alternative approaches.
