Here are some potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Missing or Incomplete Metadata: The metadata for the AMDP table function may not be properly defined or may be missing.
  Database Compatibility Issues: The database version or configuration may not support certain features required by the AMDP.
  Transport Issues: If the AMDP function was transported from another system, there may be inconsistencies in the transport that affect metadata.

  Authorization Issues: The user executing the function may not have the necessary authorizations to access the metadata.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check AMDP Definition: Ensure that the AMDP table function is correctly defined in the ABAP Development Workbench (SE80 or SE11). Verify that all required parameters and return types are specified.
