Append structure does not exist-cannot be deleted

Dear SAP Experts,

I have a structure /1CADMC/100000000053785LFA1 which was created by one of a program but was inactive. I tried to activate it but with errors.

The activation error logs:

Field XXX in table /1CADMC/100000000053785LFA1 is specified twice. Please check

Within this structure /1CADMC/100000000053785LFA1, i have found two APPEND STRUCTURES which caused the duplicate fields.

Unfortunately, I tried to delete one of the APPEND STRUCTURES, the system prompted that this structure does not exist (SE11).

I tried to experiment creating this append structure in SE11, the system prompted that this structure name already exist..

It seems like there is some kind of cache which need to be clear from the system.

Kindly help to advise how should I proceed to delete this append structure or activate the main structure.

Thank you!

Best Regards,

Bee Huang

Hi,

Unique problem indeed , System will not allow you to delete the structures or programs it creates at runtime.

Assuming that this problem is in the DEV system and you dont need the structure ,

i suggest you check with the BASIS consultant and copy the table from Production and rewrite it on DEV.

so you will have the old table.

Dear Experts,

Thank you for your advice and insights. We have tried to rerun the program which creates these structures but had still ended up in errors ..

After attempting ways to delete the APPEND structures were not successful, we figure we need to delete the structure via other method. we found a Note 37076 - Delete new (not active) Append structures-> which pointed us to a FM "DD_APPD_DEL" which enables us to delete the Append structure name whether it is in active or inactive status.

This works and we have proceed to delete the main structure.
