Error in an ABAP statement (processing an internal table). 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, delete or add a row in internal table <runtime parameter>-NAME. There is not valid cursor for this table however.
Possible causes:
1. The corresponding ABAP language command does not include addition "...INDEX...", although this command is not in a "LOOP...ENDLOOP" loop around this table.
2. In the body of a loop starting with "LOOP ... USING KEY ...", an ABAP statement has been issued with an implicit index specification. This is only permitted in connection with addition "USING KEY loop_key" and applies to statements "DELETE itab" and "MODIFY itab".
3. The corresponding ABAP language command statement was called from within a "LOOP...ENDLOOP" loop after a DELETE <runtime parameter>-NAME. Please see abap error for more details about the possible cause of this runtime error and how it could be avoided.
