How To Fix SWF_BND_001095 - Strctrs of type '&1' and '&2' can only be assgnd using MOVE-CORRESPONDING

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SWF_BND_001 - Messages for workflow binding class

• Message number: 095

• Message text: Strctrs of type '&1' and '&2' can only be assgnd using MOVE-CORRESPONDING

What causes this issue?

A structure of type &V1& cannot be assigned as a whole to a structure
of type &V2& due to the technical attributes of its sub-fields (number,
length, data type).

System Response

This assignment leads to an error in the binding check.

How to fix this error?

Select the relevant row in the binding editor.
Choose the assignment operator in the middle of the row.
The system displays a dialog box in which options for the assignment
can be set.
Choose <LS>Assign structures using MOVE-CORRESPONDING</>.
Note that here only fields with the same name are assigned. If you
require additional assignments between fields with different names of
both structures, create new binding rows after the
<AB>MOVE-CORRESPONDING</> operation.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_BND_001095 - Strctrs of type '&1' and '&2' can only be assgnd using MOVE-CORRESPONDING ?

  The SAP error message SWF_BND_001095 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of structures in ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming). Specifically, it states that structures of type '&1' and '&2' can only be assigned using the MOVE-CORRESPONDING statement. This error typically arises when you attempt to assign one structure to another directly using the = operator, which is not allowed unless the structures are compatible in terms of their fields.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Incompatible Structures: The two structures you are trying to assign do not have the same fields or compatible field types. ABAP requires that the fields in both structures match in name and type for a direct assignment to be valid.
  Direct Assignment Attempt: You are using a direct assignment (e.g., structure1 = structure2) instead of the MOVE-CORRESPONDING statement.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should use the MOVE-CORRESPONDING statement to assign the values from one structure to another. This statement allows you to copy the values of fields that have the same name from one structure to another, while ignoring fields that do not match.
  Here’s an example of how to use MOVE-CORRESPONDING:
  DATA: structure1 TYPE your_structure_type1,
        structure2 TYPE your_structure_type2.
  
  " Instead of using direct assignment
  " structure1 = structure2.
  
  " Use MOVE-CORRESPONDING
  MOVE-CORRESPONDING structure2 TO structure1.
  Related Information:
  
  MOVE-CORRESPONDING: This statement is particularly useful when dealing with structures that may have different fields but share some common fields. It ensures that only the fields with matching names are copied.
  Field Compatibility: Ensure that the fields you want to copy have compatible data types. If the fields have different types, you may need to perform additional conversions.
  Debugging: If you are unsure about the structure definitions, you can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the structure definitions and their fields.
  
  By following the above guidelines, you should be able to resolve the SWF_BND_001095 error effectively.
