• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CUSDIR200 - Invalid access to text table using view ?

  The SAP error message CUSDIR200, which states "Invalid access to text table using view," typically occurs when there is an attempt to access a text table through a view that is not designed to handle such access. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when using custom views or when the underlying data model does not support the required access.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect View Definition: The view may not be properly defined to access the text table. Text tables in SAP are usually accessed through specific mechanisms, and if the view does not include the necessary joins or definitions, it can lead to this error.
  Missing Text Table: The text table that the view is trying to access may not exist or may not be properly linked to the main table.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing access to the text table.
  Data Dictionary Issues: There could be inconsistencies or issues in the data dictionary definitions related to the view or the text table.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check View Definition: Review the definition of the view in transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator). Ensure that the view is correctly defined to access the text table. You may need to include the text table explicitly in the view definition.
  Use Correct Access Method: If you need to access text tables, consider using the appropriate function modules or methods designed for this purpose, such as READ_TEXT or TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP.
  Verify Text Table Existence: Ensure that the text table exists and is correctly defined in the data dictionary. You can check this in SE11 by entering the name of the text table.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access both the view and the text table.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on best practices for accessing text tables.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the program or transaction that is generating the error to identify the exact point of failure.
