Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS782 - Invalid table name &1 detected in dynamic table select method. ?

  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_PROCESS782 Invalid table name &1 detected in dynamic table select method.
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a dynamic table name used in a select statement or a dynamic table access method is invalid or not recognized by the system. In other words, the program tries to access a database table dynamically (the table name is passed as a variable or parameter), but the table name provided is either:
  
  Incorrect (typo or wrong name),
  Not existing in the database,
  Not allowed to be accessed dynamically due to authorization or system restrictions,
  Or the dynamic table name variable is empty or contains invalid characters.
  
  This error is common in custom ABAP programs or standard SAP processes that use dynamic SQL or dynamic table access methods.
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the table name passed dynamically:
  
  Verify the value of the variable or parameter that holds the table name.
  Ensure the table name exists in the database (use SE11 or SE16 to check).
  Make sure the table name is spelled correctly and is in uppercase (SAP table names are case-sensitive and usually uppercase).
  
  
  
  Debug the program:
  
  Set a breakpoint before the dynamic select statement.
  Check the content of the variable holding the table name.
  Confirm that the table name is valid and accessible.
  
  
  
  Check authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user executing the program has the necessary authorizations to access the table.
  Sometimes, authorization checks prevent access to certain tables dynamically.
  
  
  
  Review the dynamic select logic:
  
  If the table name is constructed dynamically, check the logic that builds the table name.
  Add validation to ensure only valid table names are passed.
  
  
  
  Check for system notes or OSS notes:
  
  Sometimes, this error can be related to known SAP issues or patches.
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WGDS_PROCESS782 or dynamic table access errors.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Dynamic table access in ABAP is done using statements like:
  SELECT * FROM (lv_table_name) INTO TABLE lt_data.
  where lv_table_name is a variable holding the table name.
  
  
  If lv_table_name is invalid, the system throws this error.
  
  
  This error is often seen in workflows, custom reports, or generic data processing programs that use dynamic table names.
  
  
  Always validate dynamic inputs to avoid runtime errors and potential security risks (SQL injection).
