  The SAP error message DT833 indicates that you are trying to create an append structure in a way that is not allowed.

  Cause:
  The primary cause of the DT833 error is that the append structure creation process is being initiated incorrectly. Append structures are meant to extend existing database tables, and SAP has specific procedures for creating them to ensure data integrity and system stability.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DT833 error, follow these steps:
