  The SAP error message DT086 indicates that there is a consistency issue between the Data Dictionary (DD) and the database (DB) for a specific table. The message "Table &: nametab missing" suggests that the system is unable to find the necessary metadata for the specified table in the database.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Table Definition: The table definition exists in the Data Dictionary but is not present in the database.
  Transport Issues: If the table was recently transported from one system to another, the transport might not have been successful, leading to missing objects.

  Solution:
  
  Check Table Existence: Verify if the table exists in the database using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and SE14 (Database Utility).

  Using transaction SE11 to create the table definition.
  Activating the table to ensure it is created in the database.
  
  
  Transport Request: If the issue is due to a transport, ensure that the transport request containing the table definition is correctly imported into the target system.
  Consistency Check: Use transaction SE14 to perform a consistency check on the database objects. This can help identify and resolve inconsistencies between the Data Dictionary and the database.
