the database producer.
Decide on the correct category for the SQL error and check if it can
be eliminated. Generally the error can also be found in the
syslog (transaction sm21). From there, transactions sm51 and
sm50, the developer's trace log of the work process can be determined
and the erroneous statement can be viewed in the log. This procedure is
described in SAP Note 568768.
