  The SAP error message DD_DBAL005 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the table type definition for a database table in the Data Dictionary (DD). Specifically, it suggests that the table type of the specified table (denoted as &1) needs to be changed from the current type (&2) to a new type (&3), but the database table type is already correct.
  
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Inconsistent Table Definitions: The table definition in the Data Dictionary does not match the actual database table definition. This can happen if changes were made to the table type in the Data Dictionary but were not properly reflected in the database.
  Transport Issues: If the table definition was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies if the transport was not executed correctly.
  Manual Changes: Manual changes to the database or the Data Dictionary that
