• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CUSDIR807 - Table &1 is not a text table ?

  The SAP error message CUSDIR807 indicates that the table you are trying to access or manipulate is not a text table. In SAP, text tables are special types of tables that store language-dependent texts, typically used for descriptions or labels in different languages.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to perform an operation that is only valid for text tables (e.g., trying to retrieve or manipulate text entries) on a standard table that does not have the text structure.
  The table you are referencing does not have the necessary fields or structure to be treated as a text table.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Table Definition: Verify the definition of the table you are working with. Ensure that it is indeed a text table. Text tables typically have a language key field (usually named SPRSL) and a text field.
  
  
  Use the Correct Table: If you intended to work with a text table, ensure you are referencing the correct table. You may need to look for a related text table that corresponds to the main table you are working with.
  
  
  Review Your Code: If you are using ABAP code, check the logic to ensure that you are not mistakenly treating a non-text table as a text table. Adjust your code accordingly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or the Data Dictionary (SE11) to understand the structure of the table you are working with and confirm whether it is a text table or not.
  
  
  Check Customizations: If this is a custom development, ensure that the custom table is defined correctly and has the necessary fields to be treated as a text table.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Text Table Structure: A typical text table will have at least two fields: a key field (which links to the main table) and a language field (usually SPRSL), along with the text field itself.
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to view the structure of the table and confirm its type.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
