• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS725 - DDL source & exists only in N version; statement generation impossible ?

  The SAP error message DDLS725 indicates that there is an issue with the Data Definition Language (DDL) source in the context of database table definitions. Specifically, it means that the DDL source exists only in the "N" version (which typically refers to a non-active version of the table definition) and that the system is unable to generate the necessary SQL statements for the active version of the table.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Active Version: The DDL source is only available in a non-active version, which means that the system cannot find the active version of the table definition needed to generate the SQL statements.
  Transport Issues: If the DDL source was transported from another system, it may not have been properly activated in the target system.
  Development Environment: The error may occur in a development environment where changes have been made but not yet activated.
  Database Compatibility: There may be compatibility issues with the database version or configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  Activate the DDL Source: Check if the DDL source exists in the active version. If it does not, you may need to activate it. This can typically be done in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) by selecting the relevant table and activating it.
  Check Transport Requests: If the DDL source was transported, ensure that the transport request was successfully imported and that all necessary objects are activated.
  Review Changes: If changes were made to the table structure, ensure that all changes are properly saved and activated.
  Database Consistency: Ensure that the database is consistent and that there are no issues with the database schema. You may need to run consistency checks or repair tools if there are discrepancies.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific version of SAP you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
