  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GT119 - Target table type was modified again by table & ?

    The SAP error message GT119, which states "Target table type was modified again by table &," typically occurs during the process of data transfer or when working with table types in ABAP programs. This error indicates that there is a conflict or inconsistency in the structure of the target table type that is being used in your program or function module.

    Cause:

    1. Table Type Modification: The target table type has been modified after it was initially defined or used in the program. This can happen if the structure of the table type has been changed (e.g., adding or removing fields) while the program is still referencing it.
    2. Inconsistent Data Types: If the data types of the fields in the target table type do not match the expected types in the program, this can lead to this error.
    3. Multiple Modifications: If the target table type is modified multiple times in a short period, it can lead to confusion in the program regarding which version of the table type is being referenced.

    Solution:

    1. Check Table Type Definition: Review the definition of the target table type in the Data Dictionary (SE11) to ensure that it is correctly defined and that no unintended changes have been made.
    2. Recompile the Program: After making any changes to the table type, ensure that you recompile the program or function module that uses it. This can help to refresh the references to the updated table type.
    3. Clear Buffer: Sometimes, clearing the buffer or cache in the SAP system can resolve inconsistencies. You can do this by using transaction code SE38 to run the program RSBCS_RESTART or similar.
    4. Check for Dependencies: If the table type is used in multiple programs or function modules, ensure that all dependent objects are updated and consistent with the latest definition of the table type.
    5. Transport Requests: If the changes to the table type were made in a different environment (e.g., development vs. production), ensure that the transport requests are correctly moved and activated in the target environment.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Use SE11 to view and modify table types, SE80 for object navigation, and SE38 for executing programs.
    • ABAP Development: Familiarity with ABAP programming and data dictionary concepts is essential for troubleshooting this error.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. You can search for GT119 in the SAP Support Portal.
