• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DS136 - Logical database required only for program type '1' ?

  The SAP error message DS136 indicates that a logical database is required for a program of type '1'. This error typically occurs when you are trying to execute a report that is expected to use a logical database, but the program is not set up correctly to do so.
  Cause:
  
  Program Type Mismatch: The program you are trying to execute is defined as a type '1' program, which means it is expected to use a logical database. If the program does not have a logical database assigned or if it is not correctly configured, this error will occur.
  Missing Logical Database: The logical database that the program is supposed to use may not be defined or may not exist in the system.
  Incorrect Program Configuration: The program may not be properly configured to utilize the logical database, or it may be incorrectly coded.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Program Type: Verify that the program you are trying to execute is indeed a type '1' program. You can do this by checking the program attributes in the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38 or SE80).
  Assign Logical Database: If the program is supposed to use a logical database, ensure that it is correctly assigned. You can do this by:
  
  Opening the program in the ABAP Editor.
  Checking the attributes to see if a logical database is specified.
  If not, you may need to assign a logical database that is appropriate for the program.
  
  
  Create or Modify Logical Database: If the required logical database does not exist, you may need to create it or modify an existing one. This can be done using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and creating a new logical database or modifying an existing one.
  Check for Syntax Errors: Ensure that there are no syntax errors in the program that could prevent it from executing correctly.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the logical database that should be used, consult the documentation or the original developer of the program for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Logical Databases: In SAP, logical databases are used to provide a structured way to access data from the database. They define the data selection and can be reused across multiple programs.
  Program Types: In SAP, programs can be of different types, such as type '1' (which requires a logical database), type '2' (which does not require a logical database), etc.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE38 (ABAP Editor), SE11 (Data Dictionary), and SE80 (Object Navigator) for managing programs and logical databases.
  
  If you continue to face issues after following these steps, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP development team for further assistance.
