• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SILM_VIEW_DEFINITION034 - View def. &1: JOIN cond.: at least 1 table field bef. and after '=' ident ?

  The SAP error message SILM_VIEW_DEFINITION034 typically occurs when there is an issue with the definition of a view in the SAP system, particularly related to the join conditions specified in the view. The error message indicates that there is a problem with the join condition where at least one table field is expected before and after the '=' sign in the join condition.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Join Condition: The join condition defined in the view may not have the correct syntax or may be missing fields. For example, if you are trying to join two tables, both sides of the '=' operator must reference valid fields from the respective tables.
  Field Mismatch: The fields being used in the join condition may not be compatible (e.g., different data types).
  Missing Fields: One or both of the fields used in the join condition may not exist in the specified tables.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Join Conditions: Review the join conditions defined in the view. Ensure that each join condition has valid fields from both tables before and after the '=' sign.
  Verify Field Existence: Make sure that the fields you are using in the join condition actually exist in the respective tables. You can do this by checking the data dictionary (SE11) for the tables involved.
  Data Types: Ensure that the fields being joined have compatible data types. If they do not match, you may need to cast one of the fields to the appropriate type.
  Correct Syntax: Ensure that the syntax of the join condition is correct. It should follow the format: table1.field1 = table2.field2.
  Recreate the View: If the issue persists, consider recreating the view from scratch to ensure that all conditions are correctly defined.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the structure of the tables involved and SE11 or SE80 to modify the view definition.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to view definitions and join conditions.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for guidelines on creating and managing database views, as well as best practices for defining join conditions.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be helpful to consult with a colleague or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
