This typically happens when there is an issue with the SQL statement being constructed dynamically in ABAP code. Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Syntax Errors: The dynamic SQL statement may contain syntax errors, such as missing keywords, incorrect table names, or invalid field names.
  Invalid Data Types: The data types of the fields being used in the dynamic SQL statement may not match the expected types in the database.
  Improper Use of Placeholders: If placeholders are used in the dynamic SQL statement, they may not be correctly defined or populated.

  Database Constraints: The SQL statement may violate database constraints, such as foreign key constraints or unique constraints.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check SQL Syntax: Review the dynamic SQL statement for any syntax errors. You can use the ABAP debugger or log the SQL statement to see what is being generated.
  Validate Table and Field Names: Ensure that all table and field names used in the SQL statement are correct and exist in the database.
  Use Static SQL for Testing: If possible, convert the dynamic SQL to static SQL to test if the issue persists. This can help isolate the problem.
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the variables used in the dynamic SQL statement match the expected types in the database.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the SQL statement and access the relevant database objects.
  Error Handling: Implement proper error handling in your ABAP code to catch exceptions and log detailed error messages for easier troubleshooting.

  Dynamic SQL in ABAP: Dynamic SQL allows you to construct SQL statements at runtime. It is important to ensure that the constructed statements are valid and secure (e.g., to prevent SQL injection).
  ABAP Debugger: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and inspect the values of variables and the constructed SQL statement.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to dynamic SQL and the specific error message you are encountering.
