  Causes:
  
  Empty Internal Table: The internal table being accessed may be empty, leading to an attempt to read data that does not exist.

  Check Internal Table Initialization: Ensure that the internal table is properly initialized and populated with data before attempting to read from it.

  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and inspect the contents of the internal table at runtime. This can help identify where the issue arises.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling to gracefully manage situations where the internal table is empty or the index is out of range.
  Review Code Logic: Review the logic of the code to ensure that it correctly handles the internal table and its contents.
