This error indicates that the system is trying to access or compare a structure that has been marked as deleted or is no longer available in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Structure: The structure you are trying to compare or access has been deleted from the data dictionary.
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary: There may be inconsistencies in the data dictionary, possibly due to changes made by different users or transport requests that did not complete successfully.
  Transport Issues: If the structure was part of a transport request that was not imported correctly, it may lead to this error.

  Solution:
  
  Check Data Dictionary: Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and verify if the structure exists. If it has been deleted, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if available.

  Consistency Check: Use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to check for inconsistencies in the database and data dictionary. This can help identify any issues that need to be resolved.
  Recreate the Structure: If the structure is essential and cannot be restored, you may need to recreate it manually in the data dictionary.
  Consult Documentation: Review any documentation or change logs to understand why the structure was deleted and if it can be restored or if there are alternatives.
