• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS121 - Association &1 ignored: Field &2 is used as language code ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS121 indicates that there is an issue with a Core Data Services (CDS) view where an association is being ignored because a field is being used as a language code. This typically occurs when the CDS view is trying to define an association that involves a language-dependent field, but the system cannot process it correctly due to the way the language code is being handled.
  Cause
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Language Code Usage: The field specified in the error message is being used as a language code in the context of the CDS view. In SAP, language-dependent fields must be handled carefully, especially when defining associations.
  Association Definition: The association in the CDS view may not be correctly defined to accommodate language-dependent fields, leading to the system ignoring the association.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the CDS View: Check the definition of the CDS view where the error occurs. Look for the field mentioned in the error message and verify its usage.
  
  
  Modify the Association: If the field is indeed a language code, you may need to adjust the association definition. Ensure that the association does not directly involve language-dependent fields unless they are properly handled.
  
  
  Use Language-Independent Fields: If possible, use language-independent fields for the association. If the association must involve language-dependent fields, consider using a different approach to handle language-specific data.
  
  
  Check Annotations: Ensure that any annotations related to language handling are correctly defined in the CDS view. This includes checking for @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName and other relevant annotations.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, activate the CDS view and test it to ensure that the error is resolved.
