This error typically arises in the context of SAP Web Dynpro applications, particularly when dealing with ALV (ABAP List Viewer) components.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Attribute in Profile: The attribute 'City' is expected to be part of the profile data but has not been defined or maintained.
  Profile Configuration Issues: The profile that is being used does not include the necessary attributes, or the configuration is incomplete.
  Data Model Issues: The underlying data model may not have the 'City' attribute defined correctly, leading to this error when the application tries to access it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Profile Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings for the profile being used in your application.

  Check if the data source or backend system has the 'City' attribute available and correctly populated.
  
  
  
  Update Application Logic:
  
  If the application logic is expecting the 'City' attribute but it is not necessary, consider modifying the logic to handle cases where the attribute may not be present.
  
  
  
  Testing:
