Remote enabled FM

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have just developed a remote enabled FM with 3 import parameters.

one of them is " ADD TYPE C."

When I try to activate it I am getting a message:

" GENERIC TYPES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN RFC ".

Will it encounter any problems during a RFC call?

Hi Goldie,

Try to change the type to refer to a similar data element in dictionary. With RFC, generic types don't work.

Did you try to activate the FM?

Thanks

Yes, I got the message when I tried to activate it.

what are generic types? and what are the other types.

If you have a link, please send it.

Really apprecitate your help.

Try typing it as CHAR01 instead of C

That worked!!

Thanks Rich.

Whats the difference between CHAR01 and C?

[RichHeilman]

C is a pre-defined data type in ABAP, the reason it is generic in this case, is because there is no length assigned, even though we all know the default is 1 for its length. CHAR01 is actually a data element in the ABAP Dictionay which has a character type, and a length of 1, this is why it works.
