• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SALV_X_API093 - Key is not contained in data table ?

  The SAP error message SALV_X_API093 ("Key is not contained in data table") typically occurs when working with the SAP ALV (ABAP List Viewer) framework, particularly when trying to access or manipulate data in an ALV grid or list. This error indicates that the key you are trying to use to access a specific entry in the data table does not exist in the dataset that has been provided to the ALV.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Key Entry: The key you are trying to reference does not exist in the internal table that is being used to populate the ALV.
  Data Synchronization Issues: The data in the ALV might not be synchronized with the underlying data source, leading to discrepancies.
  Incorrect Key Definition: The key field(s) defined in the ALV might not match the key fields in the data table.
  Filtering or Selection Issues: If there are filters applied to the ALV, the key might not be present in the filtered dataset.
  Data Deletion: The entry might have been deleted or not yet created in the dataset.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Population: Ensure that the internal table used to populate the ALV contains the expected data. You can debug the program to inspect the contents of the internal table before it is passed to the ALV.
  Verify Key Fields: Make sure that the key fields defined in the ALV match the key fields in the data table. This includes checking the data types and lengths.
  Review Filters: If there are any filters applied to the ALV, review them to ensure that they are not excluding the key you are trying to access.
  Data Consistency: Ensure that the data source is consistent and that the data has not been modified or deleted unexpectedly.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to gracefully manage situations where a key is not found, possibly by providing user feedback or logging the error for further investigation.
