  SAP Error Message:
  WY050 Exception & during call of function module NAMETAB_GET with table &
  
  1. Cause
  
  The error WY050 occurs when an exception is raised during the execution of the function module NAMETAB_GET.
  The function module NAMETAB_GET is used internally by SAP to retrieve the name table (nametab) of a program or include, which contains information about variables, types, and other objects defined in the program.
  This error typically happens when the system tries to access or read the nametab of a program or table that is either:
  
  Not activated, or
  Corrupted, or
  Does not exist in the current system client or environment.
  
  
  It can also occur if the program or object is inconsistent or if there is a transport/import issue where the object metadata is incomplete or missing.
  Another cause can be authorization issues or system inconsistencies related to the program repository.
  
  
  2. Solution
  
  
  Check the program or object status:
  
  Verify that the program or table whose nametab is being accessed is active and correctly generated.
  Use transaction SE38 or SE80 to check the program status.
  If inactive, activate the program or object.
  
  
  
  Re-generate or re-activate the object:
  
  Sometimes, re-activating the program or table fixes inconsistencies.
  Use the Activate function in SE38/SE80.
  
  
  
  Check for transport/import issues:
  
  If the object was recently imported via transport, verify that the import was successful and complete.
  Re-import or correct the transport if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check for system inconsistencies:
  
  Run consistency checks for the repository objects.
  Use report RS_PROGRAM_CHECK or RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN to find inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Check authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user executing the function module has the necessary authorizations to read the program metadata.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have access, debug the function module NAMETAB_GET to see which program or table is causing the exception.
  This can help identify the exact object causing the problem.
