  The SAP error message TA126 indicates that a specified table does not have any fields defined, and as a result, it is being ignored in the context of the operation you are trying to perform. This error typically arises during the activation of a data dictionary object, such as a table or view, or when generating a program that references the table.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Table Definition: The most common cause of this error is that the table has been created without any fields. This can happen if the table was created but not properly defined.
  Incorrect Table Structure: The table might have been defined incorrectly, or the fields may have been deleted or not saved properly.
  Transport Issues: If the table definition was transported from another system, there might have been an issue during the transport process that resulted in the loss of field definitions.

  Check Table Definition:

  Check for any activation errors that may arise.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
