• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING040 - Table &1 is shared read only but active WHERE condition exists ?

  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING040 indicates that a table is being accessed in a read-only mode, but there is an active WHERE condition that requires write access. This situation typically arises when a program or transaction attempts to modify data in a table that is currently set to read-only due to sharing constraints.
  
  Cause:
  
  Table Sharing Mode: The table in question is shared in a read-only mode, meaning that it cannot be modified while other transactions or processes are accessing it.
  Active WHERE Condition: The presence of an active WHERE condition implies that the program is trying to filter or modify data based on certain criteria, which requires write access to the table.
  Concurrency Control: SAP uses various mechanisms to control data access and ensure data integrity. If a table is locked for read-only access, any attempt to modify it while it is being accessed by other processes will lead to this error.
