or structures.
In tables, when you delete an append structure (or Cusomizing include)
with fields the system executes a conversion. In tables, adjustments
are necessary on the database.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check the deletion log of the append structure (or Customizing include)
or the activation log of the appended table (or dependent table) and,
where appropriate, trigger the necessary adjustment on the database
utility.
