• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SABP_OSQL_TRAFO207 - Ambiguous asterisk identifier &1 at line:&2 off:&3. ?

  The SAP error message SABP_OSQL_TRAFO207 indicates that there is an ambiguous asterisk identifier in your SQL query. This typically occurs when you are using an asterisk (*) to select all columns from a table or view, but there are multiple tables or views in the query that have columns with the same name. The system cannot determine which column you are referring to, hence the ambiguity.
  
  Cause:
  
  Ambiguous Column Names: The most common cause is that you are using an asterisk (*) to select all columns from multiple tables that have overlapping column names.
  Joins: If you are performing a join operation and using an asterisk to select columns from both tables, the system cannot resolve which column belongs to which table.
  Subqueries: If you are using subqueries that also return columns with the same names, this can lead to ambiguity.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify Column Names: Instead of using the asterisk (*), explicitly specify the column names
