  The SAP error message RS_DB_DB6373 typically occurs when there is an issue with deleting a database table in the SAP system. This error can arise due to various reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Table Locking: The table you are trying to delete may be locked by another process or user, preventing the deletion.
  Foreign Key Constraints: If the table has foreign key relationships with other tables, you may not be able to delete it until those constraints are removed.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the deletion of the table.
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to delete the table may not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues, such as corruption or connectivity problems.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the table. If there are locks, you may need to wait for the locks to be released or contact the user holding the lock.
  Remove Foreign Key Constraints: If there are foreign key constraints, you will need to drop those constraints before you can delete the table. This can be done using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the database to ensure there are no issues with the data. You can use transaction SE14 to check and repair database objects.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the table. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Database Administration: If the issue is related to the database itself, consult with your database administrator to check for any underlying issues that may be affecting the deletion process.
