• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 34605 - Type conflict ?

  The SAP error message 34605, which indicates a "Type conflict," typically arises when there is a mismatch between the expected data type and the actual data type being processed in a program or function module. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when passing parameters to a function, assigning values to variables, or when working with data structures.
  Causes of Error 34605:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The most common cause is that the data type of a variable does not match the expected type. For example, trying to assign a character string to a numeric field.
  Incompatible Structures: When working with internal tables or structures, if the fields do not match in terms of data type or length, this error can occur.
  Function Module Parameters: If the parameters passed to a function module do not match the expected types defined in the function interface.
  Implicit Type Conversion: SAP ABAP does not allow implicit type conversion in certain cases, leading to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data types of the variables involved in the operation that triggered the error. Ensure that they match the expected types.
  Use Explicit Type Conversion: If necessary, use explicit type conversion functions (like CONVERT, CAST, etc.) to convert data types appropriately.
  Review Function Module Interfaces: If the error occurs while calling a function module, check the interface definition to ensure that the parameters being passed match the expected types.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the type conflict is occurring. This can help pinpoint the exact line of code causing the issue.
  Check Data Structures: If using structures or internal tables, ensure that the field definitions match in terms of data type and length.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Data Types: Familiarize yourself with the various data types in ABAP (e.g., CHAR, NUMC, INT, etc.) and their characteristics.
  Function Module Documentation: Always refer to the documentation of function modules to understand the expected parameter types.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message, as there may be specific cases documented by SAP.
  
  By carefully reviewing the code and ensuring that all data types align correctly, you can resolve the type conflict error effectively.
