  The SAP error message MQ123, which states "An error occurred when deleting package & in table &," typically indicates that there was an issue when attempting to delete a package from a specific table in the SAP system. This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Dependencies: The package you are trying to delete may have dependencies or references in other tables or objects, preventing its deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the package may not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  Database Locking: The package or the table may be locked by another process or user, which can prevent deletion.
  Corrupted Data: There may be data integrity issues or corruption in the database that is causing the deletion to fail.
  Incorrect Package State: The package may be in a state that does not allow it to be deleted (e.g., it may be in use or not fully processed).
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Dependencies: Investigate if there are any dependencies related to the package. You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check for references.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the package. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.

  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the database to identify and resolve any corruption issues. You can use transaction DB02 for database monitoring.
  Check Package Status: Verify the status of the package. If it is in a state that does not allow deletion, you may need to change its status or complete any pending processes.
