  The SAP error message 6G119 typically indicates that you are trying to make changes to a structure in a system that is not a development environment. In SAP, certain changes to data structures (like tables, views, or other objects) are restricted to the development system to ensure that changes are properly managed and transported through the landscape (Development ? Quality Assurance ? Production).
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  You are attempting to modify a structure in a system that is not designated as a development system (e.g., Quality Assurance or Production).

  Solution:

  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the Development system. If you lack the required permissions, contact your SAP security administrator.
