  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC267 - &1 is not contained in data dictionary as name of a structure ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WRF_APC267 &1 is not contained in data dictionary as name of a structure


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the system expects a structure name (a data dictionary object of type "structure") but cannot find it in the ABAP Data Dictionary (DDIC). The placeholder &1 in the message is replaced by the actual structure name that the system is trying to find.

    Common reasons include:

    • The structure name specified in the program, function module, or configuration does not exist in the Data Dictionary.
    • Typographical error in the structure name.
    • The structure was deleted or renamed in the Data Dictionary but not updated in the program or configuration.
    • The structure is defined as a table type or data element, but not as a structure.
    • Transport or system inconsistencies where the structure is missing in the current system.

    Solution:

    1. Verify the Structure Name:

      • Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary).
      • Enter the structure name shown in the error message.
      • Check if the structure exists and is of type "Structure".
    2. Correct the Name:

      • If the structure does not exist, check for typos or incorrect names in the program, function module, or configuration.
      • Correct the name to the valid structure name.
    3. Create the Structure:

      • If the structure is missing and required, create it in SE11 as a structure with the necessary fields.
    4. Check Transport and System Consistency:

      • If the structure exists in the development system but not in the current system, check transport requests.
      • Import the relevant transport requests to bring the structure into the system.
    5. Check Program or Configuration:

      • If the error occurs during runtime, check the program or configuration step where the structure is referenced.
      • Ensure that the structure is correctly referenced and exists in the system.
    6. Recompile or Regenerate Objects:

      • Sometimes, recompiling the program or regenerating the interface can resolve inconsistencies.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SE11: To check or create structures.
    • Transaction SE80: To check the program or function module referencing the structure.
    • Transport Management: To ensure all necessary objects are transported.
    • SAP Notes: Search for notes related to WRF_APC267 for specific module or enhancement pack issues.
    • ABAP Dictionary Objects: Structures are defined in the ABAP Dictionary and are different from tables or data elements.

    Summary:

    The error WRF_APC267 &1 is not contained in data dictionary as name of a structure means the system cannot find the specified structure in the ABAP Data Dictionary. Verify the structure name, correct or create it if missing, and ensure system consistency through transports and recompilation.


    If you provide the exact structure name or context (e.g., module, transaction, or program), I can help you with more specific guidance.
