Invalid change made to a component of an active table key Please see abap error for more details about the possible cause of this runtime error and how it could be avoided.

An attempt was made to change one or more components of an active table key of an internal table while executing a write operation. The components of the active table keys are protected against being changed however.

Active table keys are:

(1) The primary key if the table is of type SORTED or HASHED

(2) All secondary table keys which at the point of termination were used in a "LOOP ... USING KEY ..." statement over the table.

Table affected:
<runtime parameter>-NAME

Violated table key(s):
<runtime parameter>

Violated key component:
<runtime parameter>

This error can occur in the situations described below. In this case, (<runtime parameter>) occurred:

(a) An attempt was made to use the COLLECT statement on a table with secondary keys. When totalling the numeric columns, a component of an active table key was affected.

(b) In the "READ TABLE ... INTO [TRANSPORTING ...]" statement a field symbol was specified as the target work area which references a row in another internal table. During assignment to the target work area, a component of an active table key of the table referenced by the field symbol was violated.

(c) In the "MODIFY ... FROM wa [TRANSPORTING ...]" statement, an attempt was made to change one or more components of an active table key of the target table by the value to be transported from the source work area.

(d) With the MOVE-CORRRESPONDING statement, an attempt was made to overwrite at least one component of the active table key of the target table. Please see abap error for more details about the possible cause of this runtime error and how it could be avoided.
