  Causes:
  
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the DDL source code that prevent the view from being created.
  Database Constraints: The underlying database may have constraints or issues that prevent the creation of the view.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or modify database views.
  Database Locking: The database might be locked due to another process, preventing the creation of the view.
  Inconsistent Data Model: There may be inconsistencies in the data model, such as missing tables or fields that the view depends on.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Syntax: Review the DDL source code for any syntax errors. Use the syntax check feature in the ABAP Dictionary to identify issues.
  Review Database Constraints: Ensure that there are no constraints or issues in the underlying database that would prevent the view from being created.
