• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDRPLI033 - Type conversion only possible from DATS to DTDAY or TIMS to TSECOND ?

  The SAP error message SDRPLI033 indicates that there is an issue with type conversion in your ABAP program or during data processing. Specifically, it suggests that a conversion is being attempted between incompatible data types, such as trying to convert a date (DATS) to a different format that is not allowed, or a time (TIMS) to a second format (TSECOND) that is not valid.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Data Types: The error typically arises when there is an attempt to convert a date or time field to a type that is not compatible. For example, trying to convert a date field (DATS) to a string or another type that does not match the expected format.
  Incorrect Field Mapping: If you are mapping fields in a data structure or during a database operation, ensure that the source and target fields are of compatible types.
  Data Processing Logic: The logic in your ABAP code may be attempting to perform operations on date or time fields that are not valid.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data types of the fields involved in the conversion. Ensure that you are only converting DATS to DTDAY or TIMS to TSECOND as allowed.
  Use Correct Conversion Functions: If you need to convert a date or time, use the appropriate conversion functions provided by ABAP. For example:
  
  Use CONVERT DATE for converting DATS to DTDAY.
  Use CONVERT TIME for converting TIMS to TSECOND.
  
  
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the error is occurring, use debugging tools in SAP to step through the code and identify the exact line causing the issue.
  Field Mapping: If this error occurs during data transfer (e.g., in a BAPI or IDoc), ensure that the field mapping is correct and that the data types match.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Data Types: Familiarize yourself with the different data types in ABAP, especially DATS (date), DTDAY (day), TIMS (time), and TSECOND (seconds).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on data type conversions and the specific functions available for handling dates and times.
  Community Forums: If you continue to face issues, consider reaching out to SAP community forums or support for additional insights and solutions.
  
  By ensuring that you are using compatible data types and the correct conversion methods, you should be able to resolve the SDRPLI033 error effectively.
