• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDVIDB058 - Data type & is not allowed as parameter of function & ?

  The SAP error message DDVIDB058 indicates that a specific data type is not allowed as a parameter for a function module or method in ABAP. This error typically arises when you attempt to use a data type that is incompatible with the expected parameter type of a function or method.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Incompatible Data Type: The data type you are trying to pass as a parameter does not match the expected data type defined in the function module or method signature.
  Unsupported Data Types: Certain data types, such as complex structures or specific reference types, may not be allowed as parameters in function modules.
  Incorrect Declaration: The variable you are passing may not be declared correctly or may not be initialized properly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Function Module/Method Signature:
  
  Review the documentation or the definition of the function module or method you are calling. Ensure that the data type of the parameter you are passing matches the expected data type.
  
  
  
  Use Compatible Data Types:
  
  If the function module expects a specific data type (e.g., a simple type like CHAR, INT, etc.), ensure that you convert or cast your variable to the appropriate type before passing it.
  
  
  
  Modify Data Declaration:
  
  If you are using a complex structure or a reference type, consider using a simpler data type or creating a compatible structure that matches the expected parameter type.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use the ABAP debugger to inspect the values and types of the variables being passed to the function/module. This can help identify any discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the expected data types, refer to the SAP documentation or the function module's help documentation for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Data Types: Familiarize yourself with the different data types in ABAP, including elementary types, complex types, and reference types.
  Function Module Documentation: Use transaction SE37 to view the details of the function module, including its parameters and expected data types.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to gracefully manage situations where data types may not match.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
