  The SAP error message DD_RUNTIMEOBJ014 indicates that there is an issue with the sharing type of a table in the name table (nametab). This error typically arises when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the definition of the table, particularly regarding how it is intended to be shared across different contexts or programs.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Sharing Type: The table in question has been defined with a sharing type that is not valid or not supported in the current context.
  Inconsistent Table Definition: There may be inconsistencies in the table definition, such as changes made to the table structure that have not been properly activated or reflected in the database.
  Transport Issues: If the table definition was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to an invalid state.
  Development Errors: Errors in the ABAP code or in the data dictionary (DDIC) definitions can also lead to this error.
