Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/GENERATOR253 - Scale ALV row type &1 was successfully deleted from the DDIC. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/GENERATOR253 indicates that a specific row type in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) for an ALV (ABAP List Viewer) report has been successfully deleted. This message typically arises in the context of using the SAP Condition Management or when working with ALV grid display functionalities.
  Cause:
  
  
  Deletion of Row Type: The error message suggests that a row type (ALV structure) that was previously defined in the Data Dictionary has been deleted. This could happen due to:
  
  Manual deletion of the row type by a developer.
  Changes in the underlying data model that led to the removal of the row type.
  A transport request that removed the row type from the target system.
  
  
  
  Inconsistency: The deletion may lead to inconsistencies in reports or programs that rely on that specific row type, causing runtime errors or unexpected behavior.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Dictionary: Verify if the row type mentioned in the error message still exists in the Data Dictionary. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check for the existence of the row type.
  If it has been deleted, you may need to restore it from a transport request or recreate it if necessary.
  
  
  
  Update ALV Reports: If the row type is no longer needed, ensure that any ALV reports or programs that reference this row type are updated to use an alternative structure or row type.
  
  
  Transport Management: If the deletion was unintentional, check the transport logs to see if the deletion was part of a transport request. If so, you may need to revert the changes or re-import the necessary objects.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any documentation or change logs related to the development or modification of the ALV reports to understand why the row type was deleted.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the affected ALV reports to ensure that they function correctly without the deleted row type.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ALV Grid Control: Understand how ALV works and how row types are defined and used in ALV reports.
  Data Dictionary (DDIC): Familiarize yourself with the Data Dictionary in SAP, including how to create, modify, and delete data elements, structures, and tables.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the error message or the specific ALV functionality you are using.
