  Data Type Mismatch: The data being written may not match the expected data types defined in the table schema.
  Database Corruption: There could be corruption in the database that is preventing data from being written.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the table. If a lock is found, determine if it can be released.

  Database Health Check: Perform a health check on the database to identify any corruption or issues. This may involve using database-specific tools or commands.
