  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTCT006 - No data read from internal table ?

    The SAP error message RSTCT006 ("No data read from internal table") typically occurs in the context of SAP's data transport or data transfer processes, particularly when working with transport requests or data extraction. This error indicates that the system expected to read data from an internal table but found it to be empty.

    Causes:

    1. Empty Internal Table: The most common cause is that the internal table being referenced does not contain any data. This could be due to a previous step in the process failing to populate the table.
    2. Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to populate the internal table may be too restrictive, resulting in no records being selected.
    3. Data Not Available: The data that the process is trying to read may not exist in the database or may have been deleted or archived.
    4. Program Logic Error: There may be a bug or logical error in the ABAP program that is supposed to fill the internal table.
    5. Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations may prevent the program from accessing the necessary data.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Data Availability: Verify that the data you expect to be in the internal table actually exists in the database. You can do this by running relevant queries or reports.
    2. Review Selection Criteria: Examine the selection criteria used to populate the internal table. Ensure that they are correct and not overly restrictive.
    3. Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, use the debugger to step through the program and check where the internal table is being populated. Look for any conditions that might prevent data from being added.
    4. Check for Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the program has the necessary authorizations to access the data.
