Runtime error

Hi All,

iam getting the error while executing the program can anyone will help me out from this situtation

the error was

An attempt was made to pass formal parameter "P_NAME" of method "DESCRIBE_BY_NAME" of class "CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR" to an actual parameter that does not have either type C or STRING at runtime. Parameter "P_NAME" is typed with ANY, meaning that both character fields and strings can be passed. Since there is no special generic type for types C and STRING yet however, this check will not be performed until runtime. how to resolve this issue

Maybe it would be good to see the code where the dump happens...

P_NAME is an exporting parameter, meaning the type comes from your own code (not shown above).

TABNAME is as good a type as anything else to use

The message is exceptionally very clear to me, what do you understand and what don't you understand?

"An attempt was made to pass formal parameter "P_NAME" of method "DESCRIBE_BY_NAME" of class "CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR" to an actual parameter that does not have either type C or STRING at runtime."
