• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ISSR_TP717 - Data object & cannot be assigned to field symbol & ?

  The SAP error message ISSR_TP717 indicates that there is an issue with data type assignment in your ABAP program. Specifically, it means that a data object cannot be assigned to a field symbol due to a mismatch in data types or structures.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The data object you are trying to assign to the field symbol has a different data type than what the field symbol is defined to hold.
  Structure Differences: If the data object is a structure, it may not match the structure expected by the field symbol.
  Field Symbol Declaration: The field symbol may not be declared correctly or may not be compatible with the data object you are trying to assign.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the data type of the data object matches the expected type of the field symbol. You can use the DESCRIBE FIELD statement to check the data type of the data object.
  
  
  Correct Field Symbol Declaration: Make sure that the field symbol is declared with the correct type. For example:
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_data> TYPE your_type.
  Ensure that your_type matches the type of the data object you are trying to assign.
  
  
  Use TYPE REF TO: If you are dealing with reference types, ensure that you are using TYPE REF TO appropriately. For example:
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_ref> TYPE REF TO your_class.
  
  
  Check for Compatibility: If you are using structures, ensure that the structure of the data object and the field symbol are compatible. You may need to adjust the structure definitions.
  
  
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to step through the code and inspect the types of the variables involved. This can help identify where the mismatch occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Field Symbols: Field symbols in ABAP are used to create dynamic references to data objects. They are declared using the FIELD-SYMBOLS statement.
  Data Types in ABAP: Understanding the various data types in ABAP (like elementary types, structures, tables, etc.) is crucial for resolving type mismatch issues.
  ABAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on field symbols and data types.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ISSR_TP717 error and ensure that your data objects and field symbols are compatible.
