Data error (invalid data type 17) in a Remote Function Call

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am passing 2 select-option tables to RFC.

Tables have structures -

Table1 SIGN(C1)

OPTION(C2)

HIGH(C6)

LOW(C6)

Table2 SIGN(C1)

OPTION(C2)

HIGH(C20)

LOW(C20)

At the destination side, I have created two table types which have same structure.

But when I call the RFC , program terminates with error - "Data error (invalid data type 17) in a Remote Function Call"

Not able to understand the reason for this error. Please help.

Thanks,

Sujeet

Hi,

check out this example

[LINK|http://abap.googlar.eu/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28]

You have several ranges that you can use like RANGE_AUF.

Function example:

FUNCTION zexemple.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Interface local:
*"  IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(R_HORA) TYPE  FLAG
*"     REFERENCE(R_DIA_1) TYPE  FLAG
*"     REFERENCE(P_IDOC) TYPE  FLAG
*"  EXPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(MSG) TYPE  CHAR255
*"  TABLES
*"      T_OIFSPBL STRUCTURE  OIFSPBL
*"      SL_PBLNR STRUCTURE  RANGE_PBLNR
*"      SL_MATNR STRUCTURE  RANGE_MATNR
*"      SL_HORA STRUCTURE  RANGE_UZEIT
*"      T_ERROS STRUCTURE  ZARSTRING

ENDFUNCTION.

Report:

SELECT-OPTIONS: sl_pblnr FOR oirbpblb-pblnr,
                              sl_matnr FOR a361-matnr.
....

Final question:

You are passing the values using TABLES and not IMPORTING right?

Thanks for the inputs.

It helped. Actually it was silly mistake; I had passed structure instead of table. missed [] after the name.
