• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HOSHABA823 - Table &1 is not active or does not have any fields ?

  The SAP error message HOSHABA823 indicates that a specific table (denoted as &1 in the error message) is either not active or does not contain any fields. This error typically arises in the context of ABAP programming, data dictionary operations, or when trying to access a database table that is not properly defined or activated in the SAP system.
  Causes:
  
  Table Not Activated: The table may not have been activated in the Data Dictionary (SE11). If a table is newly created or modified, it needs to be activated for it to be usable.
  No Fields Defined: The table might have been created without any fields, which makes it invalid for use.

  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the table.
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues that prevent the table from being accessed.
  
  Solutions:

  Enter the name of the table and check its status.
  If it is not active, activate it by clicking on the "Activate" button.

  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the table was transported, ensure that the transport request was successfully imported and that the table is active in the target system.
