  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W8225 Expression &1 does not type timestamp (TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMPL).
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when an ABAP expression or variable used in a context that expects a timestamp data type (such as TIMESTAMP or TIMESTAMPL) is not of that type. In other words, the system expects a timestamp but the provided expression is of a different data type (e.g., CHAR, DATS, TIMS, or other non-timestamp types).
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Using a variable or field in a function module, method, or statement that requires a timestamp, but the variable is not declared as TIMESTAMP or TIMESTAMPL.
  Passing parameters to function modules or methods where the parameter type is timestamp but the actual argument is not.
  Using timestamp-specific operations or functions on non-timestamp fields.
  
  
  Explanation of Data Types:
  
  TIMESTAMP: A data type representing a timestamp in the format YYYYMMDDhhmmss (14 characters).
  TIMESTAMPL: A timestamp with local time zone information.
