Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IFME_TREE_CHECK076 - Only values or references are currently supported as function parameters ?

  The SAP error message IFME_TREE_CHECK076 indicates that there is an issue with the parameters being passed to a function module or method in your ABAP code. Specifically, it suggests that the function is expecting either values or references as parameters, but the provided parameters do not meet these criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Parameter Type: The parameters being passed to the function may not be of the expected type. For example, if the function expects a reference to an object or a simple value (like a string or integer), and you are passing a different type (like a table or structure), this error can occur.
  Data Type Mismatch: There may be a mismatch between the expected data types in the function signature and the actual data types of the arguments being passed.
  Improper Use of Structures or Tables: If you are trying to pass a table or structure where a single value or reference is expected, this will trigger the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function Module/Method Signature: Review the definition of the function module or method you are calling. Ensure that the parameters you are passing match the expected types.
  Adjust Parameter Types: If you are passing a table or structure, consider whether you need to pass a specific field or a reference to the entire structure instead.
  Use Value or Reference: If the function requires a reference, ensure you are using the correct syntax to pass a reference. If it requires a value, ensure you are passing a simple data type.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and inspect the values and types of the parameters being passed to identify where the mismatch occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for the specific function module or method to understand the expected parameter types.
  Data Types in ABAP: Familiarize yourself with the different data types in ABAP, including elementary types, structures, and internal tables, to ensure proper usage.
  SAP Community: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to the SAP Community forums or consulting with colleagues who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By carefully reviewing the parameters and ensuring they align with the expected types, you should be able to resolve the IFME_TREE_CHECK076 error.
