  The SAP error message DDLS243 indicates that there is an issue with generating the Data Definition Language (DDL) statement for a view in the database. This error typically occurs when you are trying to extend a view, and the system is unable to generate the necessary SQL statement for that operation.
  Causes:
  
  View Definition Issues: The view may have a complex definition that cannot be extended or modified as expected. This could be due to joins, subqueries, or other SQL constructs that are not supported for extension.
  Database Constraints: There may be constraints or limitations imposed by the underlying database that prevent the extension of the view.
