  The SAP error message DDLS071 indicates that the system is unable to read the nametab (name table) of a specified object due to its status. This typically occurs when there is an issue with the object in the Data Dictionary, such as a table, view, or other database object.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Object Status: The object may be in a status that prevents it from being accessed. For example, it could be in a "locked" state or marked for deletion.
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system, there may be inconsistencies or missing components.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object.
  Corruption: There may be corruption in the database or in the Data Dictionary entries.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
