  The SAP error message DMCLG793 indicates that there is an issue with an append structure in your SAP system. Specifically, it means that the append structure you are trying to use (denoted by &1) does not contain any fields. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to enhance a database table or a structure with an append.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Append Structure:

  Review Related Objects:
  
  If the append structure is part of a larger development object (like a custom table or program), ensure that all related objects are correctly defined and activated.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
