• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FL380 - Tables cannot contain any boxed components in RFC ?

  The SAP error message FL380, which states "Tables cannot contain any boxed components in RFC," typically occurs when you are trying to pass a table that contains boxed components (like structures or complex types) in a Remote Function Call (RFC). In SAP, RFC is used to enable communication between different SAP systems or between SAP and non-SAP systems.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises because RFC does not support the transmission of tables that contain boxed components. Boxed components are complex data types that cannot be directly serialized for transmission over RFC. This limitation is due to the way data is structured and transmitted in RFC calls.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Modify the Data Structure: 
  
  Change the structure of the table you are trying to pass. Instead of using boxed components, use simple data types (like CHAR, NUMC, etc.) or flat structures that do not contain nested or complex types.
