  Cause:
  This warning message occurs during ABAP runtime when a character string of a certain length is being assigned or converted to a data object with a reference structure (such as a structure or a data object with a reference type). Essentially, the system is informing you that a character string is being interpreted or converted into a structured data type, which might lead to unexpected results if not handled carefully.

  Assigning a character string to a field symbol or data reference pointing to a structure.
  Using MOVE or MOVE-CORRESPONDING statements where the source is a character string and the target is a structured data object.
  Implicit conversions between string and structured types.
