• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCRL593 - Length of component &1 of structure &2 was changed in an incomp. way. ?

  The SAP error message SCRL593 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the length of a component within a structure. This typically occurs when the length of a field in a structure has been changed in a way that is not compatible with existing data or definitions. This can happen during modifications to data dictionary objects, such as structures or tables, especially when the changes are not properly synchronized across all dependent objects.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Length Change: The length of a field in a structure was changed (e.g., from CHAR(10) to CHAR(20)) without properly updating all dependent objects or references.
  Data Dictionary Changes: Changes made to the data dictionary (like structures, tables, or views) that are not reflected in all related programs or function modules.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another, and the target system did not have the same version of the structure or related objects, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Structure Definition: Review the structure definition in the Data Dictionary (SE11) to ensure that the length of the component is as intended and consistent with all references.
  Update Dependent Objects: If the structure is used in other programs, function modules, or classes, ensure that all dependent objects are updated to reflect the new length.
  Rebuild Objects: If necessary, regenerate or recompile any affected programs or function modules that reference the structure.
  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all changes are consistently transported across systems. If the error occurs after a transport, check the transport logs for any issues.
  Check for Active Versions: Make sure that there are no active versions of the structure or related objects that could be causing conflicts.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 to view and modify the structure, SE80 for object navigation, and SE37 for function modules.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Debugging: If the error occurs during runtime, consider using the debugger to trace where the inconsistency arises.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for best practices on modifying data dictionary objects to avoid such inconsistencies in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SCRL593 error and ensure that your SAP environment is consistent and functioning correctly.
