The message format typically includes placeholders for the old name (&1), the new name (&2), and the language code (&3). This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that a change has occurred.
  Cause:
  
  Change in Object Name: The message is triggered when an object (like a field or a table) has been renamed in the system.
  Language-Specific Changes: The change is specific to a particular language, which means that the name change is relevant to users who are using that language setting in their SAP environment.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Changes: Check the change log or the transport request to understand why the name was changed. This can help determine if the change was intentional or if it needs to be reverted.
  Update Documentation: If the name change is valid, ensure that all relevant documentation and user training materials are updated to reflect the new name.
  Communicate with Users: Inform users about the change, especially if they are accustomed to the old name. This can help prevent confusion.
  Check for Dependencies: If the renamed object is used in other programs, reports, or configurations, ensure that those references are updated accordingly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Change Logs: You can access the change logs in SAP to see a history of changes made to objects. This can provide context for the name change.
  Transport Management: If the change was part of a transport request, you can review the transport logs to see who made the change and why.
