  The SAP error message SDDIC_ADT_DDLX016 indicates that a parameter specified in a Data Definition Language (DDL) operation does not exist in the context of the specified object. This error typically arises when working with database objects in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or when performing operations related to database definitions.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  A parameter (e.g., a field or attribute) is referenced in a DDL statement but does not exist in the specified database object (e.g., a table or view).

  The database object may not have been activated or created properly.

  Check for Changes: If the parameter was recently modified (renamed or deleted), ensure that all references to it in your code or DDL statements are updated accordingly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the structure of the database object, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or data dictionary (SE11) to understand the expected parameters.
