• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MFLE_CHANGEDOC023 - Specific adapter required (structure not character like/noot in DDIC) ?

  The SAP error message MFLE_CHANGEDOC023 indicates that there is an issue with the data structure being used in a specific adapter, particularly in the context of Change Document functionality. This error typically arises when the structure being processed is not compatible with the expected format, often due to it not being a character-like structure or not being defined in the Data Dictionary (DDIC).
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Data Structure: The structure being used is not a character-like structure. This means that the data type of the fields in the structure does not match the expected types for the adapter.
  Missing DDIC Definition: The structure may not be defined in the Data Dictionary (DDIC), which is required for the adapter to process the data correctly.
  Incorrect Adapter Configuration: The adapter may be configured incorrectly, leading to the expectation of a different data format.
  
  Solution:

  Verify that the structure being used is indeed a character-like structure. You can do this by checking the data types of the fields in the structure.
  If the structure is not character-like, consider modifying it to ensure compatibility.
