• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT346 - Column & of type CLNT is also expected in proxy view & ?

  The SAP error message DT346 typically indicates an issue related to the data type of a column in a proxy view, specifically when dealing with client-dependent fields. The error message suggests that a column of type CLNT (which is a client-specific data type) is expected in the proxy view, but it is either missing or incorrectly defined.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Data Types: The proxy view is expecting a column of type CLNT, but the definition in the underlying data source (like a database table or another view) does not match this expectation.
  Incorrect View Definition: The proxy view may not have been defined correctly to include the necessary client-dependent fields.
  Transport Issues: If the proxy view was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport that caused the definition to be incomplete or incorrect.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Proxy View Definition:
  
  Open the proxy view in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Verify that the column in question is defined as CLNT and matches the expected structure.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Underlying Data Source:
  
  If the underlying table or view does not have the CLNT column, you may need to modify it to include this column.
  Ensure that the data source is correctly defined to support client-dependent data.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Proxy View:
  
  If the view is not correctly defined, consider deleting and recreating the proxy view to ensure it picks up the correct structure from the underlying data source.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate problems with the view definition.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version you are using, as there may be known issues or additional steps required for your specific scenario.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Client-Dependent Fields: In SAP, fields of type CLNT are used to store client-specific data. This means that the data is segregated by client, allowing for multi-client environments.
  ABAP Dictionary: The ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) is where you can define and manage database objects, including tables, views, and data elements.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches that may address this specific error message or related issues.
