• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FL383 - With RFC modules, no generic types are allowed ?

  The SAP error message FL383 ("With RFC modules, no generic types are allowed") typically occurs when you are trying to use a generic data type in a Remote Function Call (RFC) module. RFC modules have specific requirements regarding data types, and generic types are not permitted in this context.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You define a parameter in an RFC-enabled function module with a generic type (like ANY, TABLE, or STRING).
  The RFC interface cannot handle these generic types because they do not have a specific structure or format that can be serialized and transmitted over the network.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Change Generic Types to Specific Types: Review the parameters of your RFC-enabled function module and replace any generic types with specific types. For example:
  
  Instead of using STRING, use CHAR or VARCHAR with a defined length.
  Instead of using TABLE, define a specific structure for the table.
