• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCDS_ATC_DDLS_ANNO003 - Enumeration value &2 for annotation &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message SCDS_ATC_DDLS_ANNO003 indicates that there is an issue with an enumeration value for a specific annotation in your ABAP code. This error typically arises during the activation or check of ABAP code, particularly when using the ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) or during the development of ABAP CDS (Core Data Services) views.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An enumeration value specified in your code does not exist in the defined enumeration type.
  There is a mismatch between the expected enumeration values and what is actually defined in the system.
  The annotation being referenced is either misspelled or not properly defined in the context of the CDS view or ABAP program.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Enumeration Definition:
  
  Verify that the enumeration type is correctly defined in your ABAP code or in the relevant data dictionary objects.
  Ensure that the enumeration values you are using in your annotations are correctly spelled and match the defined enumeration values.
  
  
  
  Correct the Annotation:
  
  If you find that the annotation is incorrect, update it to use the correct enumeration value that exists in the enumeration type.
  If you are using a custom enumeration, ensure that it has been activated and is available in the context where you are trying to use it.
  
  
  
  Re-activate Objects:
  
  After making changes, re-activate the affected CDS views, tables, or any other related objects to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  If your enumeration is part of a larger structure or is dependent on other objects, ensure that all related objects are correctly defined and activated.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific version you are using to understand the expected values for the enumeration and any changes that may have occurred in recent updates.
