• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REBDOA006 - Object of type &2 cannot be assigned to object &1 ?

  The SAP error message REBDOA006 indicates that there is a type mismatch when trying to assign an object of one type to another incompatible object type. This typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming or when dealing with data objects in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to assign a value or reference of one data type (object type &2) to a variable or field of another incompatible data type (object type &1).
  This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Assigning a structure to a different structure that does not match.
  Trying to assign a reference to an object of a different class.
  Mismatched data types in function module parameters or method calls.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Types: Verify the data types of the objects involved in the assignment. Ensure that they are compatible. You can do this by checking the definitions of the variables or fields in the ABAP Dictionary (SE11) or in the relevant ABAP code.
  
  
  Use Type Casting: If the objects are related but of different types, consider using type casting (if applicable) to convert one type to another. For example, if you are dealing with class instances, you might need to cast the object to the appropriate class type.
  
  
  Modify the Code: If the assignment is incorrect, modify the code to ensure that you are assigning compatible types. This may involve changing the variable type or using a different method to retrieve the data.
  
  
  Check Function Module/Method Signatures: If the error occurs during a function module or method call, ensure that the parameters being passed match the expected types in the signature.
  
  
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the type mismatch occurs. This can help you understand the flow of data and where the assignment is failing.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Data Types: Familiarize yourself with the different data types in ABAP, including elementary types, structures, tables, and object-oriented types.
  Object-Oriented Programming in ABAP: If you are working with classes and objects, ensure that you understand inheritance and polymorphism, as these concepts can affect type compatibility.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the REBDOA006 error and implement a suitable solution.
