  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EZ558 - Component &1 in DDIC type &2 (form level &4) has incorrect type ?

    The SAP error message EZ558 indicates that there is a type mismatch in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) for a specific component in a structure or table. This error typically arises when the data type of a component does not match the expected type defined in the Data Dictionary.

    Cause:

    1. Type Mismatch: The component specified in the error message has been defined with a different data type than what is expected. This can happen due to changes in the Data Dictionary or incorrect definitions in custom developments.
    2. Inconsistent Data Dictionary: If there have been recent changes to the Data Dictionary (like modifications to structures or tables), and the related programs or function modules have not been adjusted accordingly, this error can occur.
    3. Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include all necessary objects or dependencies, it could lead to inconsistencies.

    Solution:

    1. Check Data Dictionary Definitions: Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the definition of the component and the structure/table it belongs to. Ensure that the data types match what is expected.
    2. Adjust Program Code: If the program or function module is expecting a different type, you may need to adjust the code to align with the Data Dictionary definition.
    3. Rebuild Objects: If the error persists, consider rebuilding the affected objects. This can be done by activating the structure or table again in SE11.
    4. Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all related objects were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport the missing objects or dependencies.
    5. Check for Modifications: If there are modifications or enhancements in the system, ensure that they are compatible with the current Data Dictionary definitions.
