• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_BND_001076 - Target Expression '&1' Is Not a Table (Operation '&2') ?

  The SAP error message SWF_BND_001076 indicates that there is an issue with a target expression in a workflow binding. Specifically, it states that the target expression (denoted as '&1') is not a table, which is required for the operation specified (denoted as '&2'). This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow when trying to bind data to a workflow container element.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Data Type: The target expression you are trying to bind to is expected to be a table (internal table), but it is not. This could happen if you are trying to assign a single value or a structure to a target that expects a table.
  Workflow Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the workflow definition where the expected data types do not match the actual data types being used.
  Incorrect Binding: The binding of the workflow container elements may not be set up correctly, leading to a mismatch in expected data types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Verify the data types of the target expression and ensure that it is indeed a table. If it is not, you may need to change the target expression to point to a valid table or adjust the operation to work with a single value or structure.
  Review Workflow Configuration: Go through the workflow definition and check the binding settings. Ensure that the source and target expressions are correctly defined and that they match in terms of data types.
  Adjust Binding Logic: If you are trying to bind a single value to a table, consider using a method to append the value to the table instead of direct assignment.
  Debugging: Use the workflow debugging tools available in SAP to trace the execution and identify where the mismatch occurs. This can help you pinpoint the exact location of the error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like SWDD (Workflow Builder) to review and edit the workflow definitions.
