• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FPAPICHK084 - Types from type groups are not supported ?

  The SAP error message FPAPICHK084 indicates that there is an issue with the use of types from type groups in your ABAP program or function module. This error typically arises when you are trying to use a type that is defined in a type group, but the system does not support it in the context you are using it.
  Cause:
  
  Type Group Usage: The error occurs when you attempt to use a type from a type group in a context where it is not allowed. Type groups are collections of types that are defined in a specific way, and they may not be compatible with certain operations or contexts.
  Incompatible Data Types: The data type you are trying to use may not be compatible with the expected data type in the function or method you are calling.
  Scope Issues: The type may not be visible in the scope where you are trying to use it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Type Definitions: Review the type definitions in the type group you are using. Ensure that you are using the correct types and that they are defined properly.
  Use Local Types: If possible, define the required types locally in your program or function module instead of relying on types from a type group.
  Modify Function Module/Method: If you are calling a function module or method, check its interface to ensure that the types you are passing are compatible with what is expected.
  Refactor Code: If the type group is not necessary, consider refactoring your code to eliminate the dependency on the type group.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or the ABAP Development Guide for more information on type groups and their usage.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Type Groups: In ABAP, type groups are used to group related types together. They are defined using the TYPE-POOL statement.
  Data Type Compatibility: Always ensure that the data types you are using match the expected types in function calls or method signatures.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to trace the execution of your program and identify where the error occurs. This can help you pinpoint the exact type that is causing the issue.
