Gurus,

It probably says 'it is not active' rather than 'inactive', this means the table does not exist. Check the table name.

This is not a security issue.

Moved to ABAP Dictionary forum...

Possibly it is an internal program table, which can only be read at runtime, or when the selection options are known?

Cheers,

Another possibility, Have you Appended Any Include or Append Structure,and not activate the Table Properly! Did You?

Hi,

See, if you are trying any standard table name and it is giving error, it means that this table doesnt exist and if you are trying your own created table name, then it means that you have not activated it properly.......So go to SE38 reach your table, just activate and now do with SE16 whatever you want to do.

Hope this will solve your problem .

Sometimes, the custom table might have its structure changed as to incorporate an additional field, data element change, etc,

In these cases, it will not be in active status and will throw warning messages. To resolve, go to se14, choose tables, enter table name and click 'Activate and adjust database'.

Thanks,

Hi,

To resolve this issue first need you activate these tables in SE11, and try from se16 you can able to access it.

Hello,

If your trying to edit standard sap domain,then it will not allow you to edit,unless and until you have the access key.

Otherwise activate the table in se11 and then try to us se16.
