• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOFU/COMMON011 - Field &1 is not of type &2(&3) on Range Table Type ?

  The SAP error message /BOFU/COMMON011 Field &1 is not of type &2(&3) on Range Table Type typically occurs in the context of using range tables in ABAP programs or function modules. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the expected data type of a field and the actual data type defined in the range table.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The field specified in the error message (&1) is expected to be of a certain type (&2) and length (&3), but it is not. This usually happens when the range table is defined with a different data type than what is being used in the program.
  Incorrect Range Table Definition: The range table may have been defined incorrectly, or the field being referenced may not be compatible with the range table's expected structure.
  Changes in Data Dictionary: If there have been recent changes to the data dictionary (like changes in data types or structures), it could lead to this error if the program has not been updated accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Verify the data type of the field in the range table definition and ensure it matches the expected type. You can do this by checking the data element or domain associated with the field.
  Update Range Table Definition: If the range table is incorrectly defined, you may need to adjust its definition to match the expected data type.
  Review Program Logic: Ensure that the program logic is correctly using the range table and that the fields being populated or accessed are of the correct type.
  Recompile/Activate: After making changes, ensure that you recompile or activate the program or function module to reflect the changes.
  Check for Transport Issues: If this error appeared after a transport, ensure that all related objects were transported correctly and that there are no inconsistencies in the development and production environments.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Range Tables: In ABAP, range tables are used to define a range of values for selection criteria. They are typically used in SELECT statements or function modules that require multiple values for a field.
  Data Dictionary: The SAP Data Dictionary (DDIC) is where you define data types, domains, and data elements. Understanding how these are structured can help in resolving type mismatches.
  ABAP Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and inspect the values and types of the variables being used, which can help identify where the mismatch is occurring.
