When running a report a CNTL_ERROR exception is raised

When running a report extraction, a CNTL_ERROR Exception is raised. 

There is an element in the report which cannot be executed without the SAP GUI, or in foreground extraction mode. The report has to be a plain ABAP List or Plain ALV Grid, without graphical elements. 

Please set the option “Run in background mode” in the report component settings, to force the report to run in background and avoid this error. If you still get this error, please take a look at your report and remove the graphical elements.
