This error typically occurs in the context of data processing or when trying to modify or access data structures in SAP.

    Cause:

    1. Table Does Not Exist: The specified table (&1) may have been deleted or never created in the system.
    2. Field Does Not Exist: The specified field (&2) may have been removed from the table or may have been misspelled in the code.
