Specifically, the message states that a "base object is missing in the selection list for element &," where & represents the name of the element that is causing the issue.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a database table, view, or other data dictionary objects, and the system cannot find a required base object. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Base Table/View: The base table or view that the element is supposed to reference does not exist or is not included in the selection list.
  Incorrect Definition: The definition of the data element or structure may be incorrect or incomplete.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing dependencies.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the base object.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DDLS111 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify that the base object (table or view) exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to look for the object.
  
  
  Review the Definition: Check the definition of the element that is causing the error. Ensure that it correctly references the existing base object.
  
  
  Include Missing Objects: If the base object is missing, you may need to create it or include it in the selection list. This may involve creating a new table or view or modifying an existing one.
  
  
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all related objects were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport the missing objects.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the base object. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the DDL operation to get more insights into what might be causing the error.
