• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO014 - The row type must be a structure for ranges table types ?

  The SAP error message DO014, which states "The row type must be a structure for ranges table types," typically occurs when you are trying to define a table type in ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) that is expected to be a range table but is not correctly defined as a structure.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Incorrect Definition: You are trying to use a table type that is not defined as a structure. In ABAP, range tables must be defined with a specific structure that includes fields for the range (e.g., low and high values).
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type you are using for the range table does not conform to the expected structure type.
  Improper Use of Ranges: When using ranges in SELECT statements or function modules, the range table must be defined correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DO014 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Table Type Definition:
  
  Ensure that the table type you are using is defined as a structure. You can do this by going to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and checking the definition of the table type.
  The structure should typically have at least two fields: one for the lower limit (e.g., LOW) and one for the upper limit (e.g., HIGH).
  
  
  
  Define a Range Table:
  
  If you need to create a range table, you can define a new structure that includes the necessary fields. For example:
  TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_range,
           low TYPE your_data_type,
           high TYPE your_data_type,
         END OF ty_range.
  TYPES: tt_range TYPE TABLE OF ty_range.
  
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Data Type:
  
  When declaring variables or parameters that are supposed to hold range tables, ensure you are using the correct type that matches the defined structure.
  
  
  
  Review Code:
  
  Go through the code where the error occurs and ensure that you are using the range table correctly. If you are passing it to a function module or method, check the expected parameter types.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Dictionary: Use transaction SE11 to manage and view data types, structures, and table types.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or ABAP documentation for more details on defining structures and table types.
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the error is occurring, use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify the exact point of failure.
  
  By ensuring that your range table is defined correctly as a structure and that you are using the appropriate data types, you should be able to resolve the DO014 error.
