This error typically arises when the BRF is trying to process a BOR key that is not a primitive type, which is not supported.

  Non-Primitive BOR Key Elements: The BOR key elements being referenced in the BRF rule are complex types (like structures or tables) rather than primitive types (like strings, integers, etc.).

  Solution:
  To resolve the BRF242 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the BOR Key Elements: Review the BOR key elements being used in your BRF rules. Ensure that you are only using primitive types (e.g., CHAR, NUMC, DATS) as keys.
