• Message text: The export parameter has been assigned an incorrect type.

What causes this issue?

a) Info for the administrator
This is a technical error. Please forward this message to your ABAP
developers.
b) Info for the developer
In method <ZK>Init</> of class &v2&, method
CL_HRDEPBSNO_FORM_DATA_DEF=>PREPARE_RESULTTABLE_FOR_ADOBE is generally
called as follows:
me->prepare_resulttable_for_adobe(
EXPORTING
...
iv_import_format = me->c_import_format " (optional)
it_notif_result_ids = lt_notif_data_result_ids
...
IMPORTING
es_no_import_format = as_import_format
).
Export parameter <ZK> es_no_import_format</> is dynamically classified
using variant <ZK>as_import_format </>. In the present case, type &v1&
was specified using variable <ZK>as_import_format</>.
This type cannot be processed.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

In method <ZK>Init</> of calling class &v2&, change the current
parameter <ZK>as_import_format </> so that it is classified as a
structure with exactly two components. A field with data type <ZK>
character</> or <ZK>string</> is expected in the first position and a
table in the second position.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPBSDEVAVG671 - The export parameter has been assigned an incorrect type. ?

  The SAP error message HRPBSDEVAVG671, which states "The export parameter has been assigned an incorrect type," typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when dealing with function modules or methods that involve export parameters. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the expected data type of an export parameter and the actual data type being passed to it.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is that the data type of the variable being passed to the export parameter does not match the expected data type defined in the function module or method signature.
  Incorrect Structure: If the export parameter is expected to be a structure or a table, and a simple data type (like a string or integer) is passed instead, this error will occur.
  Inconsistent Lengths: If the length of a character field does not match the expected length defined in the function module, it can also lead to this error.
  Incorrectly Defined Parameters: If the function module or method has been modified and the calling program has not been updated accordingly, this can lead to mismatches.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function Module/Method Signature: Review the definition of the function module or method to understand the expected data types for the export parameters. Ensure that the variables you are passing match these types.
  Data Type Conversion: If there is a mismatch, consider converting the data type of the variable being passed to match the expected type. This can be done using ABAP type conversion functions or by explicitly defining the variable with the correct type.
  Use Structures or Tables Appropriately: If the export parameter is a structure or table, ensure that you are passing the correct structure or table type and that it is properly populated.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and inspect the values and types of the variables being passed to the function module. This can help identify where the mismatch occurs.
  Check for Updates: If the function module or method has been recently updated, ensure that all calling programs have been updated to reflect any changes in parameter definitions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Data Types: Familiarize yourself with the different ABAP data types and structures to ensure proper usage.
  Function Module Documentation: Always refer to the documentation of the function module or method you are using to understand its parameters and expected data types.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific function module or method you are working with.
  Community Forums: Consider searching or posting on SAP community forums for additional insights or similar experiences from other developers.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the HRPBSDEVAVG671 error and ensure that your ABAP code functions correctly.
