[Former Member]

ABAP/4 runtime error CALL_FUNCTION_FORMAT_NOT_SUP

Occurred on 07.07.2009 at 15:15:18

-

-

---

RFC data format not supported.

-

-

---

What happened?

-

-

---

An error occurred when executing a Remote Function Call.

The current ABAP/4 program "SAPMSSY1" had to be terminated because

one of the statements could not be executed.

This is probably due to an error in the ABAP/4 program.

-

-

---

What can you do?

-

-

---

Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)

and make a note of the actions and input that caused the

error.

To resolve the problem, contact your

SAP system administrator.

-

-

---

Error analysis

-

-

---

A data error occurred when executing a Remote Function Call.

The data format used is not supported by the recipient.

-

-

---

How to correct the error

-

-

---

A 'Remote Function Call' passed data in the incorrect format or

length. If both the calling program and the called program are

ABAP/4 function modules, there is an error in the

SAP system.

If one of these programs is a CPI-C program which interprets the

RFC log itself, the error has probably occurred because the program

does not conform to the standards defined by SAP.
