This error typically arises when the system cannot find the specified basic type or its extension, which can occur for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Type Definition: The basic type or its extension has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Naming: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the type definition.
  Namespace Issues: The type might be defined in a different namespace that is not accessible in the current context.
  Transport Issues: If the type was recently transported from another system, it may not have been imported correctly.
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary: There may be inconsistencies in the data dictionary that prevent the system from recognizing the type.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Type Definition: Verify that the basic type and its extension are correctly defined in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11). Ensure that the names are spelled correctly.
  Activate Objects: If the type has been recently created or modified, ensure that it has been activated. You can do this in SE11 or SE80.
  Check Namespace: Ensure that you are using the correct namespace for the type. If the type is in a different namespace, you may need to reference it correctly.

  Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the data dictionary using transaction SE11 or SE14 to identify any inconsistencies.
