  The SAP error message STOBJ058 indicates that the system is unable to expand a structured object, which typically refers to a data structure or a table that is expected to be expanded or processed but cannot be due to certain issues. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during the execution of a program, report, or transaction that involves structured data.
  Causes of STOBJ058
  
  
  Missing or Incomplete Data: The structured object may not have been fully defined or may be missing required components, leading to an inability to expand it.
  
  
  Incorrect Data Types: The data types defined in the structure may not match the expected types, causing issues during expansion.
  
  
  Memory Issues: If the system is running low on memory or resources, it may fail to expand large structured objects.
  
  
  Corrupted Objects: The structured object may be corrupted or improperly defined in the system.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or expand the structured object.
  
  
  Solutions to STOBJ058
  
  
  Check Object Definition: Review the definition of the structured object in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) to ensure that it is correctly defined and all necessary components are included.
  
  
  Data Consistency: Ensure that the data being processed is consistent and complete. Check for any missing entries or incorrect data types.
  
  
  Memory Management: If memory issues are suspected, consider optimizing the program or report to handle data more efficiently. You may also want to check system resources and increase memory limits if necessary.
  
  
  Recreate the Object: If the object is corrupted, you may need to recreate it. This can involve deleting the existing object and creating a new one with the correct definitions.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and manipulate the structured object. This can be done through transaction SU53 or by checking the user roles and profiles.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the program or transaction that is causing the error. This can help identify the exact point of failure and provide more context for the error.
