How To Fix SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY005 - Keys &1 and &2 both have the type SORTED

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY - Superfluous Keys Messages

• Message number: 005

• Message text: Keys &1 and &2 both have the type SORTED

What causes this issue?

The table keys &V1& and &V2& are both of the type SORTED. The non-unique
key &V1& is an initial part of the unique key &V2&. Check whether both
keys are required.
INCLUDE INCL_MIGRATION_SCENARIO
The key &V2& has more components than &V1& and is thus more selective.
In the case of all statements where the key &V1& is used, &V2& could
also be used (exception: READ/DELETE # WITH TABLE KEY#, where all key
components have to be assigned exactly).
Check whether only one of the keys is used or could be used and whether
the other key can therefore be removed.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY005 - Keys &1 and &2 both have the type SORTED ?

  The SAP error message SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY005 indicates that there is a redundancy issue with the keys defined in a sorted table. Specifically, it means that two keys (denoted as &1 and &2) are both defined as sorted keys, which is not allowed in the context of the data structure you are working with.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  You have defined multiple keys for a sorted table, and both keys are marked as sorted.
  The system does not allow more than one sorted key for a particular table or data structure, leading to a conflict.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Key Definitions: Check the definitions of the keys in the data structure (table or view) where the error is occurring. Identify the keys that are marked as sorted.
  
  
  Modify Key Attributes:
  
  If you have two keys defined as sorted, you need to decide which key should remain as a sorted key.
  Change the attribute of one of the keys from sorted to non-sorted. This can usually be done in the Data Dictionary (SE11) by editing the table or structure.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Table: After making changes to the key definitions, you may need to activate the table and regenerate any related objects to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the functionality to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the application behaves as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Sorted Tables: In SAP ABAP, sorted tables are used when you need to maintain a specific order of entries based on the key fields. They are optimized for read operations where the order of data is important.
  Data Dictionary (SE11): This is the transaction code used to access the Data Dictionary in SAP, where you can define and modify database objects like tables, views, and data elements.
  Key Types: Understand the different types of keys in SAP (primary keys, secondary keys, sorted keys, hashed keys) and their implications on performance and data retrieval.
