• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG112 - The annotation "AbapCatalog" is not allowed in table functions ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG112 indicates that there is an issue with the use of the annotation "AbapCatalog" in the context of table functions. This error typically arises when you are trying to define a table function in ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) and you have incorrectly applied the AbapCatalog annotation, which is not permitted for table functions.
  Cause:
  The AbapCatalog annotation is used to define metadata for database objects, such as database tables or views, but it is not applicable to table functions. Table functions are designed to return a table-like structure and do not have the same cataloging requirements as database tables or views.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to remove the AbapCatalog annotation from your table function definition. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Open the ABAP Development Environment: Use the ABAP Workbench (SE80) or the ABAP Editor (SE38) to access your table function code.
  
  
  Locate the Table Function: Find the specific table function where the error is occurring.
  
  
  Edit the Definition: Remove the AbapCatalog annotation from the function definition. Ensure that you are only using annotations that are valid for table functions.
  
  
  Save and Activate: After making the changes, save your work and activate the table function.
  
  
  Test the Function: Execute the table function to ensure that it works correctly without the error.
  
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: For more detailed information about annotations and their usage in ABAP, refer to the official SAP documentation or the ABAP programming guidelines.
  
  By following these steps and understanding the context of the error, you should be able to resolve the issue effectively.
