  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS082 - Internal error creating table & in & in program & ?

    The SAP error message:

    WS082 Internal error creating table & in & in program &

    Meaning / Cause:

    This error indicates that there was an internal problem when SAP tried to create a table (usually a temporary or internal table) during the execution of an ABAP program. The placeholders & are replaced at runtime with the actual table name, the program name, or other relevant information.

    Common causes include:

    • Syntax or runtime errors in the ABAP code related to table declarations or operations.
    • Memory or resource limitations preventing the creation of the internal table.
    • Inconsistent or corrupted SAP kernel or runtime environment.
    • Incorrect or unsupported table type definitions.
    • Issues with dynamic table creation, e.g., when using CREATE DATA or dynamic internal table declarations.
    • Authorization or system restrictions that prevent table creation.

    Where it occurs:

    • During the execution of ABAP programs, function modules, or reports that dynamically create or manipulate internal tables.
    • Often seen in custom developments or enhancements where dynamic table creation is used.
    • Can also occur in standard SAP programs if there is a system inconsistency.

    How to analyze and solve:

    1. Check the full error message details:

      • Look at the short dump (transaction ST22) for the exact program name, table name, and line number.
      • The dump will provide more context about the error.
    2. Review the ABAP code:

      • Identify where the internal table is being created.
      • Check for syntax errors or incorrect table declarations.
      • If dynamic creation is used (CREATE DATA, REF TO DATA), verify the type definitions.
    3. Check system resources:

      • Ensure there is enough memory available.
      • Check system logs (SM21) for related resource errors.
    4. Check SAP kernel and system consistency:

      • If the error appears suddenly in standard SAP programs, consider applying the latest kernel patches or support packages.
      • Run consistency checks (transaction SICK).
    5. Authorization:

      • Verify that the user executing the program has the necessary authorizations.
    6. Debugging:

      • Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and see exactly where the error occurs.
      • Check the internal table creation statement and the data types involved.
    7. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to message WS082.
      • Sometimes this error is linked to known bugs fixed in patches.

    Related information:

    • Transaction ST22: Analyze dumps related to this error.
    • Transaction SE38 / SE80: To review and debug the ABAP program.
    • SAP Notes: Search for WS082 or related keywords.
    • SAP Kernel: Ensure the kernel is up to date.
    • ABAP Documentation: For internal table creation and dynamic data objects.
