• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OPS_SE_SHP_SC023 - &1 is not a structure ?

  The SAP error message "OPS_SE_SHP_SC023 &1 is not a structure" typically indicates that the system is expecting a data structure but has received something else (like a table or a different data type). This error often occurs in the context of ABAP programming or when working with data structures in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Data Type: The variable or object being referenced is not defined as a structure. It could be a table, a simple data type, or an object that does not conform to the expected structure type.
  Typographical Error: There might be a typo in the name of the structure being referenced.
  Scope Issues: The structure may not be visible in the current scope due to visibility rules or it may not be declared in the program.
  Inconsistent Data Definitions: The data definitions in the program may not match the expected definitions in the database or the data dictionary.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Type: Verify that the variable or object you are using is indeed defined as a structure in the ABAP Dictionary (SE11). You can do this by checking the data type in the ABAP program or in the data dictionary.
  Correct Typographical Errors: Ensure that the name of the structure is spelled correctly and matches the definition in the data dictionary.
  Declare the Structure: If the structure is not declared, you need to declare it in your ABAP program using the TYPES statement or ensure it is included properly.
  Check Scope: Make sure that the structure is accessible in the current context. If it is defined in another program or include, ensure that it is properly included or declared.
  Use the Correct Structure: If you are trying to use a table or another data type, ensure that you are using the correct structure that matches the expected type.
