• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO513 - Exporting parameters changed ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO513 ("Exporting parameters changed") typically occurs in the context of using Function Modules or BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) in SAP. This error indicates that the exporting parameters of a function module have been modified in a way that is not compatible with the calling program or function.
  Cause:
  
  Changes in Function Module: The function module you are calling has had its exporting parameters changed (added, removed, or modified) since the last time it was used.
  Version Mismatch: If the function module has been updated in the system, but the calling program has not been adjusted to accommodate these changes, it can lead to this error.
  Inconsistent Data Types: If the data types of the parameters being passed do not match the expected types in the function module, this can also trigger the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function Module Definition: Review the definition of the function module to see what changes have been made to the exporting parameters. You can do this by navigating to the function module in transaction SE37 or SE80.
  Update Calling Program: If the function module has changed, you will need to update the calling program to ensure that it matches the new definition of the function module. This may involve adding new parameters, removing obsolete ones, or changing data types.
  Recompile the Program: After making changes to the calling program, recompile it to ensure that all changes are recognized by the SAP system.
  Check for Transport Requests: If the function module was changed in a different environment (like a development system), ensure that the changes have been transported correctly to the environment where the error is occurring.
  Consult Documentation: If available, consult the documentation or change logs for the function module to understand what changes were made and how they might affect your program.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes SE37 (Function Builder) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to investigate the function module.
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the error is occurring, you can use the debugger to step through the code and identify the exact point of failure.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the function module or the error message.
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the calling program to ensure that it works correctly with the updated function module.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FDT_CHANGE_INFO513 error and ensure that your SAP programs function correctly with the updated function modules.
