                  else '''"''' || '||' || a.COLUMN_NAME || '||' || '''",''' || '||'
            end)
from DBA_TAB_COLUMNS a
where a.OWNER = upper('&owner_name')
and a.TABLE_NAME = upper('&table_name')
union all
select 998 dummy,''' ''' from dual
union all
select 999 dummy,'from &owner_name..&table_name;' from dual
order by dummy
error:

> ISA Server is not configured to allow SSL requests from this port. Most Web browsers use port 443 for SSL requests. (12204)
This seems to be your specific network configuration.  It seems that your corporate network is blocking HTTPS requests which don't use port 443. Your ABAP system is configured to use a port other than 443. Either talk to your basis admins about changing your ABAP system configuration to use port 443 or talk to your network administrators to allow whichever port the ABAP system is running on.
