• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GQ059 - Processing of pool tables (&1) is not supported ?

  The SAP error message GQ059, which states "Processing of pool tables (&1) is not supported," typically occurs when there is an attempt to access or process data from a pool table in a way that is not supported by the SAP system. Pool tables are a type of database table in SAP that are used to store data in a more efficient manner, particularly for smaller tables that do not require a full database table structure.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported Operations: The error usually arises when a program or function tries to perform operations on pool tables that are not allowed, such as certain types of SELECT statements or data manipulations.
  Incorrect Table Type: The program may be trying to access a table that is defined as a pool table, but the operation being performed is not compatible with pool tables.
  Database Layer Limitations: Some database operations may not be supported for pool tables due to the way they are structured and stored in the database.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Type: Verify the type of the table you are trying to access. If it is a pool table, consider whether the operation you are trying to perform is appropriate for that table type.
  Modify the Program: If you have access to the ABAP code, modify the program to avoid operations that are not supported for pool tables. This may involve changing the logic to use transparent tables instead.
  Use Transparent Tables: If the data structure allows, consider using transparent tables instead of pool tables for the operations you need to perform. Transparent tables are more flexible and support a wider range of operations.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team to understand the limitations of pool tables and the best practices for data access.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Pool Tables: These are special types of tables in SAP that are used to store data in a compact format. They are not directly accessible in the same way as transparent tables.
  ABAP Programming: Understanding how to work with different types of tables in ABAP is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the differences between pool tables, cluster tables, and transparent tables.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message, as there may be known issues or fixes provided by SAP.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
