• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICL_BRF_PLUS012 - Function/expression &1 does not have the correct result type ?

  The SAP error message ICL_BRF_PLUS012 indicates that there is a mismatch in the expected result type of a function or expression in the Business Rule Framework (BRF+). This typically occurs when the output type of a function or expression does not match the type that is expected by the calling context.
  Cause:
  
  Type Mismatch: The function or expression is expected to return a specific data type (e.g., Boolean, Integer, String), but it is returning a different type.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the function or expression may not align with the expected output type defined in the rule or decision table.
  Data Type Definition: The data types defined in the BRF+ application may not be consistent with the types used in the expressions or functions.

  Check Function/Expression Definition:
  
  Review the function or expression that is causing the error. Ensure that the return type is correctly defined and matches the expected type in the calling context.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Types:
  
  If the function is returning a different type, modify the function to ensure it returns the correct type. This may involve changing the logic or the data type of the output variable.

  Test with Sample Data:
  
  Test the function or expression with sample data to verify that it produces the expected result type.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
