• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING026 - A normalized where condition must contain at least one line ?

  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING026 indicates that a normalized WHERE condition in a database operation is expected to contain at least one line, but it is currently empty. This error typically arises in the context of data manipulation or querying within the SAP system, particularly when working with database tables or views.
  Cause:
  
  Empty WHERE Clause: The most common cause of this error is that the WHERE clause in your SQL statement or data operation is empty. This can happen if the conditions are not properly defined or if the logic that generates the WHERE clause fails to produce any conditions.
  Dynamic SQL Generation: If the WHERE clause is being generated dynamically (e.g., through user input or program logic), there may be a bug or oversight in the code that leads to an empty condition.
  Incorrect Data Handling: If the data being processed does not meet the expected criteria, it may lead to an empty WHERE clause.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the WHERE Clause: Review the SQL statement or the logic that generates the WHERE clause. Ensure that it contains valid conditions. For example, if you are filtering based on user input, make sure that the input is being validated and that it results in a valid condition.
  Add Default Conditions: If applicable, consider adding default conditions to ensure that the WHERE clause is never empty. This could be a condition that always evaluates to true (e.g., 1=1) or a fallback condition based on business logic.
  Debugging: If the WHERE clause is generated dynamically, add debugging statements to log the generated SQL before execution. This can help identify why the WHERE clause is empty.
  Review Program Logic: If the error occurs in a custom program or report, review the logic that constructs the WHERE clause. Ensure that all necessary variables are being populated correctly.
