• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STB_WZ_WIZARD064 - Structure of table and work area are not compatible ?

  The SAP error message STB_WZ_WIZARD064 indicates that there is a compatibility issue between the structure of a table and the work area being used in a program or function module. This typically occurs when the data types or the structure of the fields in the table do not match those in the work area.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatched Data Types: The fields in the work area may have different data types or lengths compared to the corresponding fields in the database table.
  Field Names: The field names in the work area may not match the field names in the table.
  Structure Changes: If the structure of the database table has been changed (e.g., fields added, removed, or modified) and the work area has not been updated accordingly, this error can occur.
  Inconsistent Definitions: If the work area is defined in a way that does not align with the table structure, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the data types and lengths of the fields in the work area match those in the database table. You can do this by checking the Data Dictionary (SE11) for both the table and the work area.
  Update Work Area: If the table structure has changed, update the work area definition to reflect these changes. This may involve adding new fields, removing obsolete fields, or changing data types.
  Field Names: Verify that the field names in the work area match those in the table. If there are discrepancies, correct the field names in the work area.
  Use Structure Types: If possible, use the same structure type for both the work area and the table. This can help ensure compatibility.
  Recompile the Program: After making changes, recompile the program or function module to ensure that the changes take effect.
