• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCODELIST_REGISTRY200 - Context parameter must be a structured type ?

  The SAP error message SCODELIST_REGISTRY200, which states "Context parameter must be a structured type," typically occurs in the context of SAP ABAP programming, particularly when dealing with context parameters in function modules or methods that expect a structured data type.
  Cause:
  This error arises when a function module or method is called with a context parameter that is not of the expected structured type. In SAP, structured types are defined as data types that can contain multiple fields, similar to a record or a class in other programming languages. If the parameter passed does not match the expected structure, the system raises this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Function Module/Method Signature: Review the definition of the function module or method you are calling. Ensure that the context parameter you are passing matches the expected structured type.
  
  
  Define a Structured Type: If you do not have a structured type defined, you may need to create one. You can do this by:
  
  Using the Data Dictionary (SE11) to create a new structure.
  Defining the fields that are required for the context parameter.
  
  
  
  Pass the Correct Parameter: When calling the function module or method, ensure that you are passing an instance of the structured type. For example:
  DATA: my_structure TYPE my_structure_type.
  " Populate the structure fields
  CALL FUNCTION 'MY_FUNCTION_MODULE'
    EXPORTING
      context_parameter = my_structure.
  
  
  Debugging: If you are unsure about the structure expected, you can use the debugger to inspect the parameters being passed and verify their types.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If available, refer to the SAP documentation for the specific function module or method to understand the expected input parameters.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Structured Types in ABAP: In ABAP, structured types are defined using the TYPE keyword and can be created using the Data Dictionary or inline declarations.
  Function Module Documentation: Each function module in SAP has associated documentation that describes the parameters, including their types and expected formats.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to gracefully manage situations where incorrect types might be passed.
  
  By ensuring that the context parameter is correctly defined and passed as a structured type, you should be able to resolve the SCODELIST_REGISTRY200 error.
