How To Fix DT010 - Tab. & is of type INTTAB (Technical settings are not meaningful)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DT - Table activation (incl. indexes)

• Message number: 010

• Message text: Tab. & is of type INTTAB (Technical settings are not meaningful)

What causes this issue?

The technical settings are used to adapt individually the storage
requirements and access to a database table. Structures, however, are
purely logical objects, i.e. there is no analogous object in the
database for a structure defined in the ABAP Dictionary. Technical
settings for structures and append structures are therefore
meaningless.
This inconsistency probably occurred due to a change in the table
category of the corresponding object.

System Response

The system deletes the existing technical settings if the table is
activated and an inconsistency is determined between the table type of
the latest table version and the existence of technical settings.
The structure can thus be activated or the latest table version has a
type which makes the existence of technical settings appropriate. In
the latter case the technical settings are activated as part of the
activation of the table.

How to fix this error?

You can activate the technical settings if you wish to delete the
technical settings.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT010 - Tab. & is of type INTTAB (Technical settings are not meaningful) ?

  The SAP error message DT010, which states "Tab. & is of type INTTAB (Technical settings are not meaningful)," typically occurs when you are trying to define technical settings for an internal table in the Data Dictionary (DDIC). Internal tables are a type of data structure in ABAP that are used to hold data temporarily during program execution, and they do not have a physical representation in the database. Therefore, certain technical settings that apply to database tables do not apply to internal tables.
  Cause:
  The error arises because:
  
  You are attempting to set technical attributes (like data class, size category, etc.) for an internal table, which is not applicable since internal tables are not stored in the database.
  The system recognizes that the object you are working with is an internal table and therefore does not allow you to set technical settings that are only relevant for database tables.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check the Object Type: Ensure that you are working with a database table and not an internal table. If you intended to create a database table, make sure you are not mistakenly defining an internal table.
  Remove Technical Settings: If you are indeed working with an internal table, you should remove any technical settings you have tried to apply. Internal tables do not require these settings.
  Use Appropriate Data Types: If you need to define a structure or a table type for your internal table, use the appropriate data types and structures without trying to apply database-specific settings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Internal Tables: These are temporary data structures used in ABAP programs to hold data during runtime. They are defined in the program and do not have a persistent storage in the database.
  Database Tables: These are defined in the Data Dictionary and have physical storage in the database. They can have technical settings applied to them.
  Data Dictionary (SE11): This is the transaction code in SAP where you can create and manage database tables, views, data elements, domains, and other data objects.
  
  If you continue to face issues, consider reviewing the ABAP code or the Data Dictionary definitions to ensure that you are using the correct object types and settings.
