• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S1106 - Specify a database object ?

  The SAP error message S1106, which states "Specify a database object," typically occurs when a database operation is attempted without specifying the required database object (like a table, view, or other database entity). This error can arise in various contexts, such as when executing SQL statements, using transaction codes, or working with database-related functions in ABAP.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Object Specification: The most common cause is that the SQL statement or database operation does not include a specific database object. For example, if you are trying to perform a SELECT operation without specifying which table to select from.
  Incorrect Syntax: There may be a syntax error in the SQL statement that leads to the database object not being recognized.
  Dynamic SQL Issues: If you are using dynamic SQL, the object name might not be correctly constructed or passed to the execution function.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified database object, leading to confusion in the error message.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check SQL Statement: Review the SQL statement or database operation to ensure that a valid database object is specified. For example:
  SELECT * FROM <table_name>;
  Ensure <table_name> is replaced with the actual name of the table you want to query.
  
  
  Correct Syntax: Verify that the syntax of your SQL statement is correct. Refer to the SAP documentation or SQL reference for the correct syntax.
  
  
  Dynamic SQL: If using dynamic SQL, ensure that the object name is correctly constructed and that it is not empty. You can use debugging or logging to check the value of the object name before execution.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user executing the operation has the necessary authorizations to access the specified database object. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: If the error occurs in a specific transaction, ensure that you are using the correct transaction code and that all required fields are filled out.
