  The SAP error message /AIF/PERS_TBL_GEN001 &1 is not a valid DDic structure and cannot be used as raw structure typically indicates that the specified Data Dictionary (DDic) structure is either not defined correctly or does not exist in the system. This error is often encountered in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) when trying to use a structure that is expected to be a valid raw structure for processing.
  Causes:
  
  Non-existent Structure: The specified structure does not exist in the Data Dictionary.
  Incorrect Structure Name: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the structure name being referenced.

  Transport Issues: If the structure was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated properly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the structure.

  Check Structure Existence:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 to check if the structure exists. Enter the name of the structure and see if it is found.
