SAP Note 86 - MESSAGES in the list processing

Summary :
In SAP list processing for interactive reporting, a disparity exists in error handling when compared with screen processing. Specifically, when "Warning" type messages (MESSAGE W) are triggered, they are escalated to "Error message" (MESSAGE E), consequently discarding any ongoing list and reverting to the previously displayed list level. Moreover, during the creation of the basic list, types W and E messages prematurely terminate the process, emulating the behavior of type A messages. The workaround proposed involves substituting "Warning" message type (W) with "Success" message type (S) in list operations to prevent these interruptions and ensure smoother workflow continuity.
