• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRAL182 - Field '&1' cannot be assigned to '&2'. Data type information is missing ?

  The SAP error message SRAL182 indicates that there is an issue with data type assignment in your ABAP program or configuration. Specifically, it means that the system is unable to assign a value from one field to another because the data type information for one of the fields is missing or not properly defined.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data Type Definition: The field in question (&1) does not have a defined data type, which prevents the system from understanding how to handle the data.
  Inconsistent Data Types: The source field and target field (&2) may have incompatible data types, and the system cannot perform the assignment.
  Field Symbol or Dynamic Field: If you are using field symbols or dynamic fields, the data type may not be resolved at runtime.
  Incorrect Data Element: The data element associated with the field may not be correctly defined in the Data Dictionary.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Dictionary: Verify that both fields (&1 and &2) are correctly defined in the Data Dictionary (SE11). Ensure that they have appropriate data types and lengths.
  Define Missing Data Types: If a field is missing a data type, you need to define it in the Data Dictionary.
  Use Correct Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the source and target fields are compatible. For example, if one is a character type and the other is a numeric type, you will need to convert the data appropriately.
  Field Symbols: If you are using field symbols, ensure that they are properly typed before assignment. You can use the ASSIGN statement with a specific type.
  Check for Typographical Errors: Ensure that there are no typographical errors in the field names or data element names.
  Debugging: Use the debugger to trace the point of failure and inspect the values and types of the fields involved in the assignment.
