• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SV361 - Tables of type INTTAB are not supported ?

  The SAP error message SV361, which states "Tables of type INTTAB are not supported," typically occurs when you are trying to use an internal table (INTTAB) in a context where it is not allowed. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to pass an internal table to a function module or method that does not accept it.
  Cause:
  
  Internal Table Usage: The error arises because the function or method you are calling does not support internal tables as input parameters. This is common in certain function modules or methods that expect specific data types or structures.
  Incorrect Data Type: You may be trying to use an internal table where a standard data type or a specific structure is required.
  Contextual Limitations: Some contexts in ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) do not allow the use of internal tables, such as certain types of data processing or when interfacing with external systems.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function Module/Method Documentation: Review the documentation for the function module or method you are using to understand the expected input parameters. Ensure that you are passing the correct data type.
  Convert Internal Table to Appropriate Format: If the function requires a specific structure or a standard table type, you may need to convert your internal table to that format. This can be done by:
  
  Using a loop to read the internal table and populate a standard table or structure.
  Using the APPEND statement to add entries to a standard table.
  
  
  Use a Different Function/Method: If the function you are trying to use does not support internal tables, look for an alternative function or method that does.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to trace the point of failure and inspect the data types being passed. This can help identify where the mismatch occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Data Types: Familiarize yourself with the different data types in ABAP, including standard tables, sorted tables, hashed tables, and internal tables.
  Function Module Parameters: When working with function modules, always check the parameter types in the function signature. You can do this by using transaction SE37 (Function Builder).
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific function module or method you are using. This can provide additional insights or workarounds.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SV361 error and ensure that your ABAP code runs smoothly.
