  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_XX003 - Import parameters I_EXP_VALUE and I_ACT_VALUE have different data types ?

    The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_XX003 indicates that there is a mismatch in the data types of the import parameters I_EXP_VALUE and I_ACT_VALUE in a function module or method. This typically occurs when the expected data type for one parameter does not match the data type of the other parameter being passed to it.

    Cause:

    1. Data Type Mismatch: The most common cause is that the two parameters are defined with different data types in the function module or method signature. For example, one might be defined as a string while the other is defined as a numeric type.
    2. Incorrect Mapping: If you are calling a function module or method and passing values, the values being passed may not be compatible with the expected data types.
    3. Changes in Data Structure: If there have been recent changes to the data structure or the function module, it may lead to inconsistencies in the expected data types.

    Solution:

    1. Check Data Types: Review the definition of the function module or method to confirm the expected data types for I_EXP_VALUE and I_ACT_VALUE. Ensure that both parameters are of the same data type.
    2. Convert Data Types: If the data types are different, you may need to convert one of the values to match the other. For example, if one is a string and the other is a numeric type, you can convert the string to a number or vice versa, depending on the context.
      • Use appropriate conversion functions like CONVERT_TO_STRING, CONVERT_TO_NUMBER, etc., based on the data types involved.
    3. Review Calling Code: Check the code where the function module or method is being called. Ensure that the values being passed are of the correct type and format.
    4. Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools in SAP to trace the values being passed and identify where the mismatch occurs.

    Related Information:

    • Function Module Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific function module or method to understand the expected data types and any additional requirements.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide guidance on this error message.
    • Community Forums: Consider searching or posting on SAP community forums or platforms like SAP Community, Stack Overflow, or SAP Answers for additional insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
