    The attributes of the object &V1& of type &V2& were compared with the
    information from ABAP Dictionary. The function was either called
    explicitly or the table piece list of the object was changed.

    System Response

    Some object attributes are not edited directly and are derived from ABAP
    Dictionary instead. These are the following attributes:

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

    <ZH>Category</>
    The object category is synchronized with the table piece list. The
    delivery classes in the object tables must not differ from the category.
    The following rules apply:
    the category CUST is not allowed for cross-client tables
    the delivery classes W and S do not allow the category CUST for
    client-specific tables nor the category CUSY for cross-client tables
    the category APPL is only allowed for the delivery class A
    <ZH>Transport</>
    Tables (with text table), views, and view clusters flagged as <LS>
    Standard Recording Routine</> in view maintenance, or for which
    transport interface maintenance events are defined, are flagged as <LS>
    Automatic Transport</>.
    <ZH>Client-specific</>
    An object is client-specific if the piece list tables are
    client-specific.
    <ZH>Translation-relevant</>
    An object is translation-relevant if its piece list contains a table
    which is translation-relevant.
    <ZH>Piece list</>
    For tables (with text tables) and views, the table object list is
    generated from the definition in the ABAP Dictionary (for the generated
    tables, the <LS>Dictionary</> flag is set). Tables added manually (the
    <LS>Dictionary</> flag is not set here) are not affected. For view
    clusters, the piece list of the views and tables involved is derived
    from the view cluster definition.
