• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCMP_EXCP002 - &1 is not defined as object of type Table with Text Table ?

  The SAP error message SCMP_EXCP002 indicates that a specific object (usually a table) is not defined as a type of "Table with Text Table." This typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming or when working with data dictionary objects in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Table Definition: The table you are trying to use is not defined correctly in the Data Dictionary (SE11). It may not have a corresponding text table defined.
  Missing Text Table: The main table does not have an associated text table, which is required for certain operations, especially when dealing with multilingual data.
  Incorrect Usage in Code: The ABAP code may be trying to access or manipulate the table as if it has a text table, but it does not.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Table Definition:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 and check the definition of the table in question.
  Ensure that it is defined as a "Table with Text Table" if it is supposed to have a text table.
  
  
  
  Define Text Table:
  
  If the table is supposed to have a text table, you need to create one. This can be done in SE11 by creating a new table that will serve as the text table.
  Ensure that the text table has the same key fields as the main table and includes a language field (usually SPRSL).
  
  
  
  Adjust ABAP Code:
  
  If the table does not require a text table, review the ABAP code to ensure it does not attempt to access it as if it has one.
  Modify the code to handle the table correctly based on its actual definition.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made to the table definitions or ABAP code, ensure that they are transported to the appropriate environments (e.g., from development to quality assurance).
