OL849 - Details

  • The SAP error message OL849 indicates that there is a mismatch between the parameters defined in a method and the parameters being passed to that method. This typically occurs in ABAP programming when the method signature does not match the actual parameters being used in the call.
    
    Cause: Parameter Mismatch: The parameters being passed to the method do not match the expected parameters defined in the method's interface. This could be due to: Incorrect parameter names. Incorrect data types. Missing parameters. Extra parameters that are not defined in the method. Changes in Method Definition: If the method was modified (e.g., parameters were added, removed, or renamed) but the calling code was not updated accordingly, this error can occur. Inheritance Issues: If the method is part of a class hierarchy and the method is overridden, the parameters in the subclass method must match those in the superclass method.
    Solution: Check Method Definition: Review the method definition in the class or interface
