The error message includes two placeholders: &1 for the SQL code and &2 for the SQL message, which provide more specific information about the underlying SQL error.
  Causes:
  
  SQL Syntax Error: There may be a syntax error in the SQL code being executed within the AMDP.
  Database Connection Issues: Problems with the database connection can lead to execution failures.
  Data Type Mismatches: If there are mismatches in data types between the ABAP and the database, it can cause execution errors.
  Database Constraints: Violations of database constraints (like primary key, foreign key, etc.) can lead to SQL execution failures.
  Insufficient Privileges: The user executing the AMDP may not have the necessary permissions to perform the operation.
  Database-Specific Issues: Certain SQL operations may not be supported or may behave differently depending on the database system being used (e.g., HANA, Oracle, etc.).
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check SQL Code: Review the SQL code in the AMDP for any syntax errors or logical issues. Ensure that it adheres to the SQL dialect of the underlying database.
  Debugging: Use the debugger to step through the AMDP code and identify where the error occurs. This can help isolate the problematic SQL statement.
  Review Database Logs: Check the database logs for more detailed error messages that can provide insight into the failure.
  Validate Data Types: Ensure that the data types used in the AMDP match those expected by the database.
  Check Permissions: Verify that the user executing the AMDP has the necessary permissions to access the database objects involved.
  Test SQL Independently: If possible, run the SQL code independently in a database client to see if it executes successfully outside of the AMDP context.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for AMDP and the specific database being used for any known issues or limitations.
