Did you check if you are in one of the 3 options suggested by the dump log?

Within the loop modifying the internal table needs work area or modify using index...

Hi Harry!

Abinath is absolutely correct, but I would like to add to his comment that for best practices and better performance, you could replace modify + index or modify + workarea using field-symbols!

Best Regards,

You say "how to check it", is there anything you don't understand in the 3 (and even more) short dump points?

You use "MODIFY itab". If it's inside a "loop at itab", then INDEX can be omitted. Otherwise (for instance "loop at other_itab") it fails.
If your loop doesn't use the syntax "LOOP ... USING KEY" then ignore the remark, otherwise use "MODIFY ... USING KEY ..."
If your "MODIFY itab" is after a "DELETE" it will fail. Don't do MODIFY if the line has been deleted.

I see that there are other points mentioned (4 concerning mesh, maybe other points).

There can be other possibilities like itab with keys and you try to change the keys, etc.

If you want more assistance, please provide your LOOP AT and exact type of itab.

Note that you are using an internal table with header lines, this has been obsolete for a long long time. Never use header lines (only exception: SELECT-OPTIONS).

because there is not value in the itab. if the same issue , Please check the internal table .

Or a reference.

LOOP AT itab REFERENCE INTO DATA(record_line).
  recordline->field1 = ....
