• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO760 - Table type & still being referenced ?

  The SAP error message DO760, which states "Table type & still being referenced," typically occurs when you attempt to delete or modify a table type that is still being used in other objects, such as function modules, classes, or other database objects. This is a common issue in SAP when dealing with data dictionary objects.
  Cause:
  
  
  Active References: The table type you are trying to delete or modify is still being referenced in other objects. This could include:
  
  Function modules
  Classes or interfaces
  Data elements or structures
  Other table types
  
  
  
  Dependencies: SAP maintains a dependency list for all objects. If the table type is part of a structure or is used in a function module, it cannot be deleted until all references are removed.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DO760 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify References:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the table type.
  Enter the name of the table type and click on the "Where-Used List" button (or press Ctrl + Shift + F3). This will show you all the objects that reference the table type.
  
  
  
  Remove or Modify References:
  
  Go through the list of objects that reference the table type and either:
  
  Modify them to remove the dependency on the table type.
  Delete or deactivate the objects if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Active Objects:
  
  Ensure that there are no active objects (like function modules or classes) that are currently using the table type. You may need to deactivate them temporarily.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion/Modification:
  
  Once all references have been removed or modified, you can attempt to delete or modify the table type again.
  
  
  
  Transport Considerations:
  
  If you are working in a transport environment, ensure that you have the necessary transport requests and that you are following the correct transport procedures.
