• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS357 - View with parameters &: select statement is missing ?

  The SAP error message DDLS357 indicates that there is an issue with a database view that is expected to have a SELECT statement but is missing it. This error typically arises when you are trying to activate or generate a database view in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and the view definition is incomplete or incorrectly defined.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete View Definition: The view may not have a proper SELECT statement defined, which is necessary for the view to function correctly.
  Parameter Issues: The view might be defined with parameters that are not being handled correctly in the SELECT statement.
  Syntax Errors: There could be syntax errors in the SQL statement or in the definition of the view.
  Missing Tables or Fields: The tables or fields referenced in the view may not exist or may have been deleted or renamed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check View Definition:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 and open the view that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the view has a valid SELECT statement defined. If it is missing, you will need to define it properly.
  
  
  
  Review Parameters:
  
  If the view is defined with parameters, ensure that they are correctly referenced in the SELECT statement.
  Make sure that the parameters are being passed correctly when the view is called.
  
  
  
  Validate Syntax:
  
  Check for any syntax errors in the SQL statement. You can use the syntax check feature in the ABAP Dictionary to identify issues.
  
  
  
  Check Table and Field Existence:
  
  Verify that all tables and fields referenced in the view exist in the database and have not been deleted or renamed.
  
  
  
  Recreate the View:
  
  If the view is too complex or if you cannot identify the issue, consider recreating the view from scratch.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the view was transported from another system, ensure that all dependencies (like tables and fields) are also transported correctly.
