  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GG378 - Table & is not global. ?

    The SAP error message GG378 indicates that a specified table is not defined as a global table. This error typically arises in the context of data dictionary objects, particularly when working with database tables in the ABAP Dictionary.

    Cause:

    The error occurs when:

    • You are trying to access a table that is not defined as a global table in the ABAP Dictionary.
    • The table might be defined as a local table, which means it is only accessible within a specific context or program and not globally across the system.

    Solution:

    To resolve the GG378 error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check Table Definition:

      • Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
      • Enter the name of the table that is causing the error and check its properties.
      • Ensure that the table is defined as a global table. If it is not, you may need to redefine it.
    2. Redefine the Table:

      • If the table needs to be global, you can change its properties in the ABAP Dictionary.
      • Make sure to adjust the table's attributes to ensure it is accessible globally.
    3. Review Program Logic:

      • If the table is intended to be local, review the program logic to ensure that you are not trying to access it in a global context.
      • Modify the code to ensure that local tables are accessed only within their defined scope.
    4. Transport Requests:

      • If the table was recently created or modified, ensure that the changes have been transported correctly to the relevant system (e.g., from development to production).
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for further insights into the specific table and its intended use.

    Related Information:

    • Global vs. Local Tables: Understanding the difference between global and local tables is crucial. Global tables can be accessed from any program, while local tables are restricted to the program or function module in which they are defined.
    • ABAP Dictionary: Familiarize yourself with the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) to manage database objects effectively.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
