• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTRAN752 - Field &1 used in the start routine does not exist in source - is deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSTRAN752 indicates that a field referenced in the start routine of a data transfer process (DTP) does not exist in the source data. This typically occurs when the field has been deleted or renamed in the source structure, but the start routine still references it.
  Cause:
  
  Field Deletion or Renaming: The field that is being referenced in the start routine has been deleted or renamed in the source data structure (e.g., InfoSource, DataSource, or InfoObject).
  Inconsistent Data Model: Changes in the data model (like changes in the underlying database or data source) that are not reflected in the DTP or transformation logic.
  Transport Issues: If the changes were made in a different environment (like development) and transported to production, there might be inconsistencies if the transport was not complete or if the target environment was not updated accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Source Structure: Verify the source structure (DataSource, InfoSource, etc.) to see if the field in question exists. If it has been deleted or renamed, you will need to update the start routine accordingly.
  Update the Start Routine: Modify the start routine to remove or replace the reference to the deleted field. Ensure that the logic in the routine is still valid after making these changes.
  Re-activate the Transformation: After making changes to the start routine, re-activate the transformation to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the DTP: Execute the DTP again to confirm that the error has been resolved and that data is being transferred correctly.
  Check for Other Dependencies: If the field was part of other transformations or routines, ensure that those are also updated to avoid similar issues.
