  The SAP error message CNV_OR_PE004 indicates that there is an issue with a Data Dictionary (DDIC) type that is expected to be a table type but is not recognized as such in the system. This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using tools like SAP's Landscape Transformation (SLT) or other data migration tools.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect DDIC Type: The specified DDIC type (&1) is not defined as a table type in the SAP system. It could be a structure or another type that does not support the operations being attempted.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the migration or conversion settings that reference the wrong type.
  Transport Issues: If the DDIC type was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or completely.
  Version Mismatch: There could be a version mismatch between the source and target systems, leading to discrepancies in the DDIC definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check DDIC Type: Verify the definition of the DDIC type in transaction SE11. Ensure that the type is indeed a table type and not a structure or another type.
  Correct Configuration: If the configuration is pointing to the wrong type, update it to reference the correct table type.
  Re-transport DDIC Objects: If the type was recently transported, consider re-transporting it to ensure it is correctly defined in the target system.
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the migration tool you are using to ensure that you are following the correct procedures and that the types being used are supported.
