Description

This error occurs in SAP S/4HANA when a SQLScript built-in function or procedure is called with input parameters that do not conform to the expected table type. It specifically indicates a structural incompatibility between the provided table-valued parameters and the function's definition, typically arising during custom development or integration work.

Error Message

ERR_SQLSCRIPT_BUILTIN_IN_PARAM_NOT_SAME_TABLE_TYPE

🔍

Known Causes

3 known causes

⚠️

Mismatched Table Type Definition

A table variable or parameter passed to a SQLScript function or procedure has a different column structure (number, names, or types) than what the function expects for that input.

⚠️

Schema or Object Inconsistency

Underlying table types or database objects referenced by the SQLScript procedure have been altered or are inconsistent across different development or production environments.

⚠️

Dynamic SQLScript Generation Error

Issues in the logic that dynamically constructs SQLScript statements lead to parameters being defined or passed with an incorrect table type at runtime.

Solutions

3 solutions available

1. Verify and Align Table Type Definitions medium

Ensure the table types used for parameters in SQLScript procedures match the actual table structures.

1

Identify the SQLScript procedure that is throwing the error. Note the name of the procedure and the parameters involved.

text

2

Examine the definition of the table type used for the input or output parameters of the SQLScript procedure. This can be done using the SAP HANA Studio or SAP Business Application Studio.

text

3

Compare the structure (column names, data types, lengths, nullability) of the table type with the actual table or the expected structure of the data being passed to or from the procedure. Pay close attention to any differences, especially in column order, data type precision, or length.

text

4

If discrepancies are found, modify the table type definition to precisely match the expected structure. This might involve adding/removing columns, changing data types, or adjusting lengths. After modification, re-activate the table type.

SQL example for creating/altering a table type (adjust as needed):

CREATE TYPE tt_my_data AS TABLE (
    column1 VARCHAR(100),
    column2 INTEGER,
    column3 DECIMAL(10,2)
);

-- or to alter:
ALTER TYPE tt_my_data DROP COLUMN old_column;
ALTER TYPE tt_my_data ADD COLUMN new_column VARCHAR(50);

5

Re-activate the SQLScript procedure after ensuring the table type definition is correct. Test the procedure again to confirm the error is resolved.

text

2. Check Data Type Compatibility in Calling Programs medium

Ensure the data being passed from calling applications or other SQLScripts aligns with the table type definition.

1

Identify the program or SQLScript that calls the procedure encountering error 1334. Note the parameter names and how data is being populated.

text

2

Review the data structures or variables in the calling program that are being mapped to the SQLScript procedure's table type parameters. Verify that the data types and structures of these elements are compatible with the table type definition of the procedure.

text

3

If the calling program is using a different data structure or if data is being transformed before being passed, ensure that the transformation logic does not introduce type mismatches. For example, if a procedure expects an INTEGER and the calling program passes a string that cannot be implicitly converted, this error can occur.

text

4

Adjust the data structures or the data population logic in the calling program to strictly adhere to the table type definition of the SQLScript procedure. This might involve explicit type casting or ensuring data is correctly formatted before passing.

Example in ABAP (conceptual):

DATA: lt_my_data TYPE tt_my_data.

-- Populate lt_my_data ensuring data types match tt_my_data definition.

CALL FUNCTION 'MY_S4_FUNCTION'  " Assuming this calls the SQLScript procedure
  EXPORTING
    iv_param_name = lt_my_data
  EXCEPTIONS
    ... ;

-- Or in SQLScript calling another SQLScript:

CALL my_procedure(?)
WITH TABLE (
    column1 = 'some_string',
    column2 = 123,
    column3 = 45.67
);

5

Re-execute the calling program or SQLScript after making the necessary adjustments. Verify that the error 1334 is no longer present.

text

3. Utilize Anonymous Code Blocks for Debugging easy

Isolate the issue by executing the problematic SQLScript code within an anonymous block to pinpoint the exact source of the type mismatch.

1

Open SAP HANA Studio or SAP Business Application Studio and create a new SQL Console.

text

2

Construct an anonymous code block that mimics the call to the problematic SQLScript procedure. Define local variables that match the expected table type parameters and populate them with sample data that is known to cause the error.

DO
$$
DECLARE
    l_input_data tt_my_data;  -- Replace tt_my_data with the actual table type
BEGIN
    -- Populate l_input_data with data that might cause the mismatch
    INSERT INTO :l_input_data VALUES ('value1', 10, 20.5);

    -- Call the procedure with the local table variable
    CALL my_problematic_procedure(:l_input_data);
END
$$ LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT;

3

Execute the anonymous code block. The error message, including the specific parameter and its type mismatch, should be clearly visible, helping to pinpoint the exact column or data type that is causing the issue.

text

4

Analyze the output and error details to identify the specific column and data type mismatch. Use this information to refer back to Solution 1 or Solution 2 for correction.
