  The SAP error message GT234 "No data for deletion found in old table &" typically occurs during data archiving or deletion processes in SAP. This message indicates that the system could not find any data in the specified old table that meets the criteria for deletion.
  Causes:
  
  No Data Exists: The most straightforward cause is that there is simply no data in the specified old table that matches the deletion criteria.
  Incorrect Table Name: The table name specified in the error message may be incorrect or not properly configured in the archiving object.
