• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W8080 - Structures & and & are not compatible ?

  SAP Error Message:
  W8080 - Structures & and & are not compatible
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when there is an attempt to assign or compare two structures (or work areas) in ABAP that are not compatible. Compatibility here means that the two structures must have the same components with the same data types and lengths in the same order.
  Typical scenarios causing this error include:
  
  Assigning one structure to another where the field definitions differ.
  Using MOVE or MOVE-CORRESPONDING between incompatible structures.
  Passing structures as parameters where the expected and actual types differ.
  Comparing structures that do not have identical definitions.
  
  
  Explanation:
  In ABAP, structures are compatible if:
  
  They have the same number of components.
  Corresponding components have the same data types and lengths.
  The order of components is the same.
  
  If any of these conditions are not met, the structures are considered incompatible, and the system raises this warning.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Structure Definitions:
  
  Compare the two structures involved in the operation.
