• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS534 - Parameters supplied to function &1 must have same or convertible types ?

  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS534 indicates that there is a type mismatch in the parameters supplied to a function in your SAP application. Specifically, it means that the parameters you are passing to a function do not have the same data type or are not convertible to a common type, which is required for the function to execute properly.
  Cause:
  
  Type Mismatch: The parameters being passed to the function are of different data types (e.g., one is a string and the other is an integer).
  Incompatible Data Types: The function expects parameters of a specific type, and the provided parameters do not meet this requirement.
  Incorrect Function Usage: The function may be used incorrectly, with the wrong number of parameters or in the wrong context.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Parameter Types: Review the data types of the parameters you are passing to the function. Ensure that they are either the same type or can be converted to a common type.
  Data Type Conversion: If necessary, convert the parameters to a compatible type before passing them to the function. For example, if one parameter is a string and the other is an integer, you may need to convert the integer to a string or vice versa.
  Review Function Documentation: Consult the documentation for the function you are using to understand the expected parameter types and ensure you are using it correctly.
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the error is occurring, use debugging tools to step through the code and inspect the values and types of the parameters being passed to the function.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Function Modules: If you are using a specific function module, check its definition in the SAP system to see the expected parameter types.
  Data Type Definitions: Familiarize yourself with the data types used in SAP (e.g., CHAR, NUMC, INT, etc.) to better understand how to convert between them.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to catch such type mismatch errors and provide meaningful messages to users or logs for easier troubleshooting.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FDT_EXPRESSIONS534 error and ensure that the parameters passed to the function are compatible.
