• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 00202 - CALL SCREEN (not modal) in modal dialog box not allowed ?

  The SAP error message "00202 CALL SCREEN (not modal) in modal dialog box not allowed" typically occurs when there is an attempt to call a non-modal screen (using the CALL SCREEN statement) from within a modal dialog box. In SAP, modal dialog boxes are designed to restrict user interaction with other screens until the dialog is closed, while non-modal screens allow users to interact with other screens.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A program or function module tries to display a non-modal screen while it is already in a modal dialog context.
  The CALL SCREEN statement is used incorrectly in a situation where a modal dialog is expected.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Context: Ensure that you are not trying to call a non-modal screen from within a modal dialog. If you need to display a screen, consider whether it should be modal or non-modal.
  
  
  Use Modal Screens: If you need to display a screen while in a modal dialog, use a modal screen instead. You can do this by using the CALL SCREEN statement with the appropriate parameters to indicate that the screen should be modal.
  
  
  Review the Code: Look at the code where the error occurs. If you are using CALL SCREEN, ensure that it is not being called from within a modal dialog context. You may need to refactor the code to avoid this situation.
  
  
  Use Function Modules: If you need to display a dialog box, consider using function modules like POPUP_TO_CONFIRM or POPUP_TO_DISPLAY_TEXT, which are designed for modal interactions.
  
  
  Debugging: Use the debugger to trace the execution flow and identify where the non-modal screen is being called from within the modal dialog.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Modal vs. Non-Modal: Understand the difference between modal and non-modal screens in SAP. Modal screens require user interaction before returning to the previous screen, while non-modal screens allow users to switch between screens freely.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP's official documentation for more details on screen handling and dialog programming.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP community forums for additional insights and solutions from other developers who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your SAP application behaves as expected.
