  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHS_BAS006 - Function &1: Parameter &2 has incorrect type ?

    The SAP error message EHS_BAS006 indicates that there is a type mismatch for a parameter in a function module or method. Specifically, the error message states that the parameter &2 of function &1 has an incorrect type. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, but it can also happen in other areas of SAP where function modules are used.

    Cause:

    1. Data Type Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is that the data type of the variable being passed to the function does not match the expected data type defined in the function's interface.
    2. Incorrect Parameter Mapping: If the parameters are not mapped correctly in the calling program or if the wrong variable is being passed, this error can occur.
    3. Changes in Function Module: If the function module has been modified (e.g., changes in the parameter types) and the calling program has not been updated accordingly, this can lead to type mismatches.
    4. Custom Code Issues: If there is custom code involved, it may not adhere to the expected data types.

    Solution:

    1. Check Function Module Interface: Go to the function module (using transaction SE37 or SE80) and check the parameter types defined in the interface. Ensure that the data types of the variables being passed match the expected types.
    2. Debugging: Use the debugger to trace the execution of the program and identify the exact point where the error occurs. Check the values and types of the parameters being passed.
    3. Data Type Conversion: If necessary, convert the data types of the variables being passed to match the expected types. This can be done using appropriate ABAP statements (e.g., CONVERT, CAST, etc.).
    4. Review Custom Code: If the error is occurring in custom code, review the logic to ensure that the correct parameters are being passed to the function module.
    5. Consult Documentation: If the function module is part of a standard SAP package, consult the SAP documentation or notes for any changes or updates that may affect the function's parameters.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Use SE37 to view and edit function modules, and SE80 for object navigation.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues with the specific function module or provide guidance on parameter types.
    • ABAP Development: Familiarity with ABAP programming and data types is essential for troubleshooting this error effectively.
