• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ISSR_TP783 - Data object & cannot be assigned to field symbol & ?

  The SAP error message ISSR_TP783 indicates that there is an issue with assigning a data object to a field symbol in your ABAP program. This typically occurs when the data type of the object being assigned does not match the expected type of the field symbol.
  Cause:
  
  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.
  Field Symbol Declaration: The field symbol may not be declared correctly or may not be compatible with the data object.
  Scope Issues: The data object may not be in scope or may not exist at the time of assignment.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the data type of the data object matches the type expected by the field symbol. You can use the DESCRIBE FIELD statement to check the data type of the object.
  
  
  Field Symbol Declaration: Make sure that the field symbol is declared correctly. For example:
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_object> TYPE any.
  If you know the specific type, declare it accordingly.
  
  
  Use ASSIGN Statement: When assigning the data object to the field symbol, ensure that the syntax is correct:
  ASSIGN <data_object> TO <fs_object>.
  If the assignment fails, you can check the return code to handle the error gracefully.
  
  
  Check Scope: Ensure that the data object is in scope and accessible at the point where you are trying to assign it to the field symbol.
  
  
  Debugging: Use the debugger to step through the code and inspect the values and types of the variables involved in the assignment.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Field Symbols: Field symbols in ABAP are used to create dynamic references to data objects. They are similar to pointers in other programming languages.
  Data Types: Understanding the various data types in ABAP (like elementary types, structures, tables, etc.) is crucial for successful assignments.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling after the assignment to check if the assignment was successful. You can use the SY-SUBRC system variable to check the result of the ASSIGN statement.
  
  Example:
  Here’s a simple example to illustrate the correct usage of field symbols:
  DATA: lv_value TYPE i,
        lv_result TYPE i.
  
  lv_value = 10.
  
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_value> TYPE i.
  
  ASSIGN lv_value TO <fs_value>.
  
  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    lv_result = <fs_value> + 5.
    WRITE: / 'Result:', lv_result.
  ELSE.
    WRITE: / 'Assignment failed'.
  ENDIF.
  In this example, the assignment of lv_value to the field symbol <fs_value> is checked for success before proceeding with further operations.
