  The SAP error message FTI_LDB_MESSAGE048 indicates that a requested field does not exist in the specified node structure fields of a logical database. This error typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the fields defined in the logical database and the fields being requested in the program or report.
  Cause:
  
  Field Name Mismatch: The field you are trying to access does not exist in the specified node structure. This could be due to a typo or an incorrect field name.
  Changes in Data Dictionary: If the underlying data structure has been changed (e.g., fields added or removed) and the report has not been updated accordingly, this error can occur.
  Incorrect Node Reference: The node structure you are referencing may not contain the field you are trying to access, either because it belongs to a different node or is not part of the logical database at all.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Names: Verify that the field name you are trying to access is spelled correctly and exists in the specified node structure. You can do this by checking the data dictionary (SE11) for the logical database and its associated structures.
  Update Report: If the logical database has been modified, ensure that your report is updated to reflect these changes. This may involve modifying the selection screen or the data retrieval logic.
  Review Logical Database: Check the definition of the logical database (transaction SE37 or SE80) to ensure that the field is included in the node structure you are working with.
  Debugging: If you are still unable to resolve the issue, consider using the debugger to trace the execution of the report and identify where the error is occurring.
