• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS735 - &: only views and AMDP table functions are supported (not &) ?

  The SAP error message DDLS735 indicates that the operation you are trying to perform is not supported for the specified object type. Specifically, it states that only views and ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP) table functions are supported, and the object you are trying to work with is not one of these.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  Object Type: You are trying to use a database table or a different object type that is not a view or an AMDP table function in a context where only views or AMDP table functions are allowed.
  SQL Operations: You might be attempting to execute a SQL operation (like a SELECT statement) on a table instead of a view or AMDP function.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in your database or in the way the objects are defined in the ABAP Dictionary.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Type: Verify that the object you are trying to access is indeed a view or an AMDP table function. If it is a database table, you will need to create a view or an AMDP function that encapsulates the logic you need.
  
  
  Create a View: If you need to access data from a table, create a database view that selects the required fields from the table. You can then use this view in your SQL operations.
  
  
  Use AMDP: If you need to perform complex database operations, consider creating an AMDP table function. This allows you to write ABAP code that can be executed directly in the database.
  
  
  Review SQL Code: If you are writing SQL code, ensure that you are referencing the correct object types. Replace any references to tables with views or AMDP functions as needed.
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date, as there may be patches or updates that address specific issues related to this error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP): AMDP allows you to write database procedures in ABAP that can be executed in the database layer, providing better performance for complex operations.
  Database Views: Views are virtual tables that provide a way to present data from one or more tables. They can be used to simplify complex queries and encapsulate business logic.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on creating views and AMDP functions, as well as best practices for database access in ABAP.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the DDLS735 error and successfully perform the desired operations in your SAP environment.
