  SAP Error Message:
  WS_TOOL862
  
  Text: The structure &2, copied from &1, was reconstructed. Check it now.
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears during ABAP Dictionary or program development when a structure (data type) that was copied from another structure has been reconstructed or regenerated by the system. This can happen due to:
  
  Changes in the original structure (&1) that the copied structure (&2) is based on.
  System automatically reconstructing the copied structure to align with the original structure's current definition.
  Inconsistencies or outdated definitions in the copied structure compared to the original.
  Transport or upgrade activities that affect dictionary objects.
  
  The system is informing you that the copied structure (&2) has been rebuilt to reflect changes in the original structure (&1), and you should verify the copied structure to ensure it still meets your requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Structure Definition:
  
  Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Display the structure &2.
  Compare it with the original structure &1.
  Verify that all fields, data elements, and types are as expected.
  
  
  
  Adjust Your Programs or Data Objects:
  
  If the copied structure is used in programs, function modules, or interfaces, check if the changes affect your logic.
  Modify your code if necessary to accommodate the updated structure.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Structure:
  
  Sometimes, simply activating the structure again in SE11 can resolve inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If this happened after a transport or system upgrade, verify that all related objects were transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Test Thoroughly:
  
  After checking and adjusting, perform thorough testing to ensure no runtime errors or data inconsistencies occur.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is informational but important to prevent runtime errors due to structure mismatches.
  It often appears during dictionary object changes or system upgrades.
  The message helps maintain data consistency and integrity in ABAP programs.
  If you frequently copy structures, consider using includes or type references to avoid such issues.
  For more details, check SAP Notes or the SAP Help Portal related to ABAP Dictionary and structure management.
