DDLS219 - Details

• The SAP error message DDLS219 indicates that there is a conflict in the definition of a view field in a database object. Specifically, it means that the field you are trying to define in a view already exists in the parent object (the underlying table or view from which the view is derived). This can occur during the creation or modification of a database view in the Data Dictionary (DDLS).
  
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Field Definition: You are attempting to add a field to a view that already exists in the parent table or view.
  Inconsistent Naming: The field name you are trying to use in the view is identical to a field name in the parent object.
  View Definition Error: There may be an error in the way the view is defined, leading to an attempt to redefine an existing field.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Names: Review the field names in both the view and the parent object.
