• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS206 - Element &1 is not of type time stamp ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS206 Element &1 is not of type time stamp typically occurs in the context of Core Data Services (CDS) views or when working with ABAP CDS annotations. This error indicates that a field that is expected to be of type "timestamp" is not defined as such in the underlying data model.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The field referenced by &1 is expected to be of type TIMESTAMP, but it is defined as a different data type (e.g., DATE, STRING, CHAR, etc.).
  Incorrect Annotations: The annotations in the CDS view may be incorrectly defined, leading to the expectation of a timestamp type where it is not applicable.
  Modeling Errors: There may be an issue in the way the CDS view or the underlying database table is modeled, leading to inconsistencies in data types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Type: Verify the data type of the field referenced by &1 in the underlying table or view. Ensure that it is defined as TIMESTAMP.
  
  You can do this by checking the data dictionary (SE11) for the table or structure that contains the field.
  
  
  
  Modify the CDS View: If the field is not of type TIMESTAMP, you may need to modify the CDS view to either:
  
  Change the field to the correct type if it is supposed to be a timestamp.
  Adjust the logic in the CDS view to handle the field appropriately if it should not be a timestamp.
  
  
  
  Update Annotations: If the field is correctly defined but the annotations are incorrect, update the annotations in the CDS view to reflect the correct data type.
  
  
  Re-activate the CDS View: After making changes, ensure to re-activate the CDS view to apply the modifications.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: If the CDS view is used in other objects (like OData services, reports, etc.), ensure that those objects are also updated accordingly.
