  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Parameter Types: Verify that the data types of the parameters being passed match the expected types in the function or method signature. Use the ABAP Data Dictionary to check the definitions.
  Review Function Signature: Look at the function module or method definition to ensure that you are passing the correct parameters in the correct order.
  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.
  Update Code: If the function signature has changed, update your calling code to match the new signature.
  Consult Documentation: If you are using standard SAP functions, refer to the SAP documentation for the specific function module or method to understand the expected parameters.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Data Types: Familiarize yourself with the different data types in ABAP (e.g., CHAR, NUMC, DATS, etc.) and how they are used in function parameters.
  Function Module Documentation: Use transaction SE37 to view the documentation for the function module in question, which can provide insights into the expected parameters.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance on the error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the LTR_MODEL_APPL042 error in your SAP environment.
