  Data Dictionary Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data dictionary that need to be resolved before you can append fields.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to modify the table structure.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a transport environment, there may be issues with the transport request.
