  The SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS002 indicates that a Data Definition Language (DDL) source specified in the system does not exist for the given version. This error typically occurs when working with database objects in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or when trying to access or modify database definitions that are not available or have been deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent DDL Source: The specified DDL source (like a table, view, or other database object) does not exist in the system.
  Version Mismatch: The version of the DDL source you are trying to access is not available. This can happen if the object was changed or deleted in a different transport or development environment.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process that caused the object to not be created or updated correctly.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to access the DDL source can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify that the DDL source you are trying to access actually exists in the system. You can do this by checking in the Data Dictionary (SE11) or using transaction codes like SE14 for database objects.
  Check Version: Ensure that you are referencing the correct version of the DDL source. If the object has been modified, you may need to check the change history or the transport logs.
  Recreate the Object: If the object does not exist, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if it was deleted accidentally.
  Transport Logs: If the issue is related to transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the object was not created or updated correctly.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the DDL source. You may need to contact your system administrator to verify your permissions.
