• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VSCAN069 - Table type &1 is not supported (only STANDARD and SORTED) ?

  The SAP error message VSCAN069 indicates that there is an issue with the type of table being used in your ABAP program or function module. Specifically, it states that the table type you are trying to use is not supported; only STANDARD and SORTED table types are allowed.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to use a table type that is not compatible with the operation you are performing. For example, using a HASHED table type where a STANDARD or SORTED table is expected.
  The data structure or table type defined in your ABAP code does not match the expected types for the operation or function you are trying to execute.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Table Type: Review the table type you are using in your code. Ensure that it is either a STANDARD or SORTED table. You can define a table type in ABAP as follows:
  TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_example,
           field1 TYPE i,
           field2 TYPE c LENGTH 10,
         END OF ty_example.
  
  TYPES: it_example TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_example WITH EMPTY KEY.
  
  
  Modify the Code: If you are using a HASHED table or any other unsupported type, change it to a STANDARD or SORTED table. For example:
  DATA: it_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_example.
  
  
  Review Function Module/Method Signatures: If you are passing the table to a function module or method, check the signature to ensure it accepts the type of table you are providing. If it requires a specific type, adjust your table definition accordingly.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary changes, test your program to ensure that the error is resolved.
