• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CDSCORE000 - No attribute has been selected for copy ?

  The SAP error message CDSCORE000: No attribute has been selected for copy typically occurs in the context of Core Data Services (CDS) views when you are trying to create or modify a CDS view and have not selected any attributes to be included in the output of the view. This error can also arise when you are trying to copy or extend an existing CDS view without specifying the necessary attributes.
  Cause:
  
  No Attributes Selected: The most common cause of this error is that the CDS view definition does not include any fields or attributes in the SELECT statement.
  Incorrect Syntax: There may be a syntax error in the CDS view definition that prevents the attributes from being recognized.
  Inadequate Annotations: Missing or incorrect annotations that define the output structure of the CDS view can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CDSCORE000 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the SELECT Statement:
  
  Ensure that you have included at least one attribute in the SELECT statement of your CDS view. For example:
  define view Z_MY_CDS_VIEW as
  select from my_table
  {
    key field1,
    field2,
    field3
  }
  
  
  
  
  Review the View Definition:
  
  Make sure that the view definition is complete and correctly structured. Check for any missing commas, brackets, or other syntax issues.
  
  
  
  Add Annotations:
  
  If you are extending a CDS view, ensure that you have the necessary annotations defined. For example, if you are using @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName, make sure it is correctly specified.
  
  
  
  Use the CDS View Editor:
  
  Utilize the CDS view editor in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) to help identify any issues. The editor provides syntax highlighting and error checking that can help you spot problems.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  If your CDS view depends on other views or tables, ensure that those dependencies are correctly defined and accessible.
  
  
  
  Activate the View:
  
  After making the necessary changes, activate the CDS view to see if the error persists.
