The message typically states that the object directory entry for the specified object (denoted by placeholders &1 and &2) does not exist. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when working with the SAP ABAP programming environment or when using the SAP Data Access Layer (SADL).
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Missing Object Definition: The object you are trying to access or manipulate does not have a corresponding entry in the object directory. This could happen if the object was not created or was deleted.
  
  
  Incorrect Object Name: The object name or identifier you are using may be incorrect or misspelled.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the transport may not have included the object or may have failed.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object, leading to the system not being able to find it.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the object from being recognized.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Verify Object Existence: Check if the object actually exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or SE37 (Function Module) to search for the object.
  
  
  Check Object Name: Ensure that the object name you are using is correct. Look for any typos or discrepancies in the naming.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the object was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the transport was successful and that the object was included.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object. You can use transaction SU53 to check for authorization issues.
  
  
  Recreate the Object: If the object is missing and you have the necessary information, you may need to recreate it.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the object is part of a standard SAP application, consult the relevant SAP documentation or support notes for additional guidance.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
