  Value type '&1' is not compatible with parameter &2
  Cause
  This error usually occurs when:
  
  A function module or method is called with an argument that does not match the expected data type of the parameter.
  The data type of the variable being passed does not align with the expected data type defined in the function module or method signature.

  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Function Module/Method Signature:
  
  Review the documentation or the definition of the function module or method you are calling. Ensure that the data types of the parameters you are passing match the expected types.
  
  
  
  Data Type Conversion:

  Debugging:
  
  Use the debugger to inspect the values being passed to the function/module. This can help you identify which specific parameter is causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If you are working with custom code, ensure that the data types are correctly defined in your structures or tables. Look for any implicit type conversions that might be happening.
