  Causes:
  
  SQL Errors: The SQL code and message provided in the error indicate that there was an issue with the SQL statement being executed. This could be due to syntax errors, invalid table names, or other SQL-related issues.

  Solutions:
  
  Check SQL Code and Message: Review the SQL code and message provided in the error to identify the specific issue. Look for syntax errors or invalid references in the SQL statement.
  Test SQL Independently: If possible, run the SQL statement directly in the database (using a database client) to see if it executes successfully. This can help isolate whether the issue is with the SQL itself or the AMDP environment.
  Review Debugger Settings: Ensure that the debugger is correctly configured and that you have the necessary authorizations to use it. Check the settings in transaction SE80 or SE11.
