Short Dump in Prod system in RSA3 for Datasource 2LIS_18_I0NOTIF...Help Pls

Question

Dear Guru's
In our porod System in Tcode RSA3 when i give Dsource 2LIS_18_I0NOTIF and click on Extract i get Follwing Dump
I searched for the note but i did not found any thing proper
Here r Dump Details:-------
Runtime Error          CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_TYPE
Exception              CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR
       Occurred on     13.08.2008 at   14:21:57
Error when attempting to IMPORT object "MC18I00NTF_TAB".
What happened?
Error in ABAP application program.
The current ABAP program "SAPLMCEX" had to be terminated because one of the
statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
When attempting to import data, it was discovered that the data
type of the stored data was not the same as that specified in the
program.
Error analysis
An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_E
was neither
caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure
"MCEX_BW_LO_API" "(FUNCTION)"
Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
to occur, the running program was terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
When importing the object "MC18I00NTF_TAB", the component no. 2 in the
dataset has a different type from the corresponding component
of the target object in the program "SAPLMCEX".
The data type is "D" in the dataset, but "F" in the program.
How to correct the error
The exception must either be prevented, caught within the procedure
"MCEX_BW_LO_API"
"(FUNCTION)", or declared in the procedure's RAISING clause.
To prevent the exception, note the following:
Try to find out why the type of the object is different.
There are several possible reasons:
|
--- In the ABAP Dictionary, the type of the imported
|   field has changed. Make sure that the type of the imported
|   field matches the length of the Dictionary field.
||   If the data could not be restored from another source, this data
|   must be read with the "old" structure, then converted and exported
back with the new structure, so that future IMPORTs always work
with the new structure.
A new program version is active, and it no longer matches the
dataset. Try to solve the error by generating the program "SAPLMCEX" again
as follows:
In the SAP System, choose the transaction SE38. Enter the program
name "SAPLMCEX". Then choose the "Activate" function.
Can any one please kindly help....
Thanks

Hi,
so did you change anything at your datasource? Before transporting to prod, you need to delete the setup tables  and then you need to run a delta to pick the latest delta records, then transport, replicate and activate the comm-structure. That will not effect your delta in prod. But again, for me the dump looks like a mismatch between the extract structure and the setup tables. You might have changed something after the setup tables have been filled. And additionally usually rsa3 is doing a full and so pulling the data out of the setup tables.
