The SAP error message DDLS706 indicates that the system is unable to generate Data Definition Language (DDL) statements for a specific object because the necessary DDL sources are missing. This typically occurs when there is a problem with the definition of a database object, such as a table or view, in the ABAP Dictionary.
Cause:
- Missing DDL Source: The most common cause is that the DDL source for the specified object (e.g., a table or view) is not available in the system. This can happen if the object was not properly created or if it was deleted or modified in a way that removed its DDL source.
- Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), and the transport did not include the necessary DDL sources, this error can occur.
- Inconsistent Object State: The object may be in an inconsistent state due to changes made directly in the database or through other means that bypass the normal ABAP Dictionary processes.
Solution:
- Check Object Definition: Verify the definition of the object in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11). Ensure that the object exists and is correctly defined.
- Recreate DDL Source: If the DDL source is missing, you may need to recreate it. This can often be done by modifying the object in the ABAP Dictionary and saving it, which should regenerate the DDL source.
- Transport Request: If the issue is related to a transport, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects and their DDL sources were included. You may need to re-transport the object.
- Check for Database Changes: If there were any direct changes made to the database (e.g., through SQL commands), ensure that these changes are reflected in the ABAP Dictionary. You may need to adjust the dictionary definition to match the database state.
- Use Tools: Utilize tools like the ABAP Dictionary utilities to check for inconsistencies or missing components. You can also use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to check and adjust the database objects.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
