• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD206 - & is not a table of type POOL,CLUSTER,TRANSP ?

  The SAP error message AD206 indicates that there is an issue with the data dictionary object you are trying to access or manipulate. Specifically, the message states that the object is not a table of type POOL, CLUSTER, or TRANSP. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation that is not compatible with the type of the database object you are working with.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Object Type: The object you are trying to access is not a database table of the expected type (POOL, CLUSTER, TRANSP). For example, it could be a view, a structure, or a different type of object.
  Misconfiguration: There may be a misconfiguration in the way the object is defined in the data dictionary.
  Accessing Non-Table Objects: You might be trying to perform a table-specific operation (like a SELECT statement) on an object that is not a table.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Type: Verify the type of the object you are trying to access. You can do this by navigating to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and checking the object definition.
  Use Correct Operations: Ensure that you are using the correct operations for the type of object. For example, if you are working with a view, you should use SELECT statements that are appropriate for views.
  Review Code: If this error occurs in custom ABAP code, review the code to ensure that it is correctly handling the object types. Make sure that you are not trying to perform table operations on non-table objects.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific object type you are working with.
