This error indicates that there is an issue with the data types being used in the ABAP code, which may not be compatible or correctly defined.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Data Types: The error often arises when there are data types in the ABAP code that are not recognized or are incorrectly defined. This can happen if a field is declared with a type that is not valid in the context of the operation being performed.
  Inconsistent Data Definitions: If there are inconsistencies in the data definitions between different parts of the program or between the program and the database, this can lead to this error.
  Missing or Incorrect Type Declarations: If a type is not declared properly or is missing altogether, the ABAP compiler may throw this error.
  Changes in Data Dictionary: If there have been recent changes in the data dictionary (like changes to table structures or data elements) that are not reflected in the ABAP code, this can lead to type mismatches.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the ABAP code where the error is occurring and ensure that all data types are correctly defined and compatible. Make sure that the types used in variable declarations match the expected types.
  Consistency Check: Ensure that all data definitions are consistent throughout the program. If you are using structures or tables, verify that their definitions match the corresponding database definitions.

  Review Changes in Data Dictionary: If there have been recent changes in the data dictionary, check if those changes are reflected in your ABAP code. You may need to adjust your code to accommodate these changes.
  Use Data Element Types: Instead of using raw data types, consider using data elements that are defined in the data dictionary. This can help ensure consistency and reduce the likelihood of type errors.
  Debugging: If the error persists, use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify the exact location and context of the error.
