• SAP Error Message:
  WXP168: Fields &1 and &2 have different field types
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when two fields involved in an operation (such as a comparison, assignment, or join) have different data types or incompatible field types. For example, one field might be of type CHAR and the other of type NUMC, or one might be a packed number (DEC) and the other a character string, etc.
  SAP expects fields used together in expressions or conditions to have compatible data types to avoid runtime errors or unexpected behavior.
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  Comparing two fields of different types in a WHERE clause or IF condition.
  Assigning one field to another where the data types differ.
  Using fields in a join condition in Open SQL where the types do not match.
  Passing parameters to function modules or methods where the expected and actual types differ.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Data Types:
