• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message -5010 - Allowed operators: I(nsert), U(pdate), D(elete) ?

  The SAP error message -5010, which states "Allowed operators: I(nsert), U(pdate), D(elete)," typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation on a database table or view that is not permitted by the system. This error is often encountered in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when using Open SQL statements or when working with database tables in a way that does not conform to the allowed operations.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You attempt to perform an operation (like SELECT) that is not allowed on a specific database table or view that is defined to only allow insert, update, or delete operations.
  The operation you are trying to perform is not supported by the underlying database structure or the way the table/view is defined in the Data Dictionary (DDIC).
  You may be trying to use a non-modifiable view or a table that has been defined as read-only.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Operation: Ensure that you are using the correct operation (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) as specified in the error message. If you are trying to perform a SELECT operation, you need to change your logic to use one of the allowed operations.
  
  
  Review Table/View Definition: Check the definition of the table or view in the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11). Make sure that the table is not defined as read-only or that the view does not restrict certain operations.
  
  
  Modify Your Code: If you are using Open SQL, ensure that your code is structured to only perform the allowed operations. For example:
  
  Use INSERT for adding new records.
  Use UPDATE for modifying existing records.
  Use DELETE for removing records.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the operation has the necessary authorizations to perform the operation on the specified table or view.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are working with standard SAP tables or views, refer to the SAP documentation or notes for any specific restrictions or guidelines related to the operations you are trying to perform.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or SE37 (Function Module) to investigate the structure and properties of the database objects involved.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to the error message or the database objects you are working with.
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the error is occurring, consider using the ABAP debugger to step through your code and identify the exact point of failure.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
