  The SAP error message /SEHS/BA_MISC1716 Function &: Incorrect changing parameter type & typically indicates that there is a mismatch in the expected data type of a changing parameter in a function module or method. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when calling a function module or method with parameters that do not match the expected types defined in the function's interface.
  Cause:
  
  Parameter Mismatch: The most common cause is that the data type of the variable being passed as a changing parameter does not match the expected data type defined in the function module or method.
  Incorrect Declaration: The variable may be declared incorrectly in the calling program or may not be compatible with the expected type.
  Version Issues: If there are multiple versions of the function module or method, it is possible that the interface has changed, leading to a mismatch.

  Solution:
  
  Check Function Module/Method Interface: Review the interface of the function module or method you are calling. Ensure that the changing parameters you are passing match the expected data types.
  Correct Data Types: If there is a mismatch, adjust the data type of the variable you are passing to match the expected type. This may involve changing the declaration of the variable or converting the data type.
  Use Data Type Conversion: If necessary, use appropriate conversion functions (like CONCATENATE, CAST, etc.) to convert the data type before passing it to the function.
  Review Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or the function module's documentation for any notes on parameter types and expected values.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, use the debugger to step through the code and inspect the values and types of the parameters being passed to identify where the mismatch occurs.
