Either table &V1& was not activated (for example, error during
blocking, and so on) or the activation was unsuccessful. This is often
because a change made to a key (or to an index) makes a table
conversion necessary. You perform this conversion manually in the
ABAP/4 Dictionary.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Read the activation log for table &V1& in the ABAP/4 Dictionary for a
detailed analysis of the problem. You can also try to perform the
activation for table &V1& directly in the ABAP/4 Dictionary. You
access the activation log via the menu options 'Environment -->
Reprocess in Repos --> Table --> Change' and then 'Utilities -->
Activation log'.
