• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CL_SADL_GW_MDE_MSGX070 - Type & is not supported ?

  The SAP error message CL_SADL_GW_MDE_MSGX070 with the description "Type & is not supported" typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and the SAP ABAP programming environment, particularly when working with the SAP Advanced Data Modeling Layer (ADL) or when trying to expose certain data types through OData services.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Unsupported Data Type: The data type you are trying to use in your OData service is not supported by the SAP Gateway. This can happen if you are trying to expose a complex type or a data type that is not recognized by the OData service.
  
  
  Model Definition Issues: There may be issues in the way the data model is defined in the ABAP layer, such as incorrect mappings or unsupported structures.
  
  
  Incompatibility with OData Protocol: The data type may not be compatible with the OData protocol, which has specific requirements for the types of data that can be exposed.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data types you are using in your model. Ensure that they are supported by the OData service. Commonly supported types include basic types like String, Int, Decimal, etc.
  
  
  Modify the Model: If you are using complex types or unsupported structures, consider modifying your data model to use simpler, supported types. You may need to create a new structure that conforms to the OData requirements.
  
  
  Update Service Definition: If you have made changes to the data model, ensure that you regenerate the service definition in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW). This will update the service to reflect the changes made.
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest support packages and notes, as there may be fixes or enhancements related to the OData service handling.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific version you are using to understand the supported data types and any limitations that may apply.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the OData service to identify where the unsupported type is being referenced. This can provide more context on the error.
