• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EM255 - Field &2 from auto structure &3 not found in DDIC ?

  The SAP error message EM255 indicates that a specific field (denoted as &2) from an auto structure (denoted as &3) cannot be found in the Data Dictionary (DDIC). This error typically arises during the execution of ABAP programs or when working with data structures that are expected to be defined in the DDIC.
  Cause:
  
  Field Not Defined: The field specified in the error message is not defined in the Data Dictionary. This could happen if the field was removed or renamed in the underlying database table or structure.
  Incorrect Structure Name: The auto structure name might be incorrect or misspelled, leading to the system not being able to locate the corresponding definition in the DDIC.
  Transport Issues: If the structure was recently transported from one system to another, it might not have been properly imported, or there could be inconsistencies between the systems.
  Version Mismatch: There may be a version mismatch between the program and the DDIC definitions, especially if the program was developed in a different environment.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check DDIC Definitions: Verify that the field and structure exist in the Data Dictionary. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to look up the structure and check if the field is defined.
  Correct Structure/Field Name: Ensure that the structure name and field name are correctly spelled and match the definitions in the DDIC.
  Transport Check: If the structure was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that it was successfully imported into the target system.
  Rebuild or Adjust Program: If the field is no longer needed, you may need to adjust the ABAP program to remove references to the missing field. Alternatively, if the field should exist, you may need to recreate it in the DDIC.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or change logs to understand if there were any recent changes to the structure or field definitions.
