  The SAP error message SADL_DRAFT_TOOL015 with the description "Field &1 unknown in SQL-View &2" typically occurs in the context of the SAP ABAP programming environment, particularly when working with the SADL (SAP ABAP Data Layer) framework. This error indicates that a field referenced in a SQL view is not recognized or does not exist in the context of the query being executed.
  Cause:
  
  Field Name Typo: There may be a typo in the field name specified in the SQL view or in the code that references it.
  Field Not Defined: The field might not be defined in the underlying database table or view that the SQL view is based on.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model (e.g., fields added or removed), the SQL view may not have been updated accordingly.
