  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/3FWTG_GENERATOR069 - Target structure &1 is a table - generation cancelled ?

    The SAP error message /PM0/3FWTG_GENERATOR069 Target structure &1 is a table - generation cancelled typically occurs during the generation of a data structure or when working with function modules, especially in the context of the SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) module or related areas. This error indicates that the target structure you are trying to generate is a table type, which is not allowed in the context of the operation you are performing.

    Cause:

    1. Target Structure Type: The error arises because the target structure specified (denoted by &1) is a table type rather than a structure type. In SAP, certain operations expect a structure (which is a single record) rather than a table (which can contain multiple records).
    2. Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data model or the way the function module or report is set up, leading to the system expecting a structure but receiving a table.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Target Structure: Review the definition of the target structure &1. Ensure that it is defined as a structure and not as a table. If it is indeed a table, you may need to create a corresponding structure that matches the expected format.
    2. Modify the Code: If you are developing or modifying ABAP code, ensure that you are using the correct data types. If the operation requires a structure, make sure to pass a structure instead of a table.
    3. Adjust Function Module/Report: If you are using a function module or report that is generating this error, check the parameters being passed. Ensure that the parameters align with the expected data types.
    4. Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific function or operation you are working with to understand the expected data types and structures.

    Related Information:

    • Data Types in ABAP: In ABAP, a structure is defined using TYPES and is used to represent a single record, while a table type is defined using TYPES with TABLE OF and is used to represent multiple records.
    • Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP debugger, you can set breakpoints and inspect the data types being passed to the function or report to identify where the mismatch occurs.
    • SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.

    If the issue persists after checking these aspects, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an experienced ABAP developer for further assistance.
