SAP S/4HANA Error 1327: Unsupported SQLScript Parameter Type

📦 SAP S/4HANA
📋

Description

Error 1327, ERR_SQLSCRIPT_PARAM_UNSUPPORTED_TYPE, indicates that a parameter within an SAP HANA SQLScript procedure or function has been defined with a data type that is not recognized or supported by the SQLScript engine. This typically occurs during the compilation or execution of custom SQLScript code, often within custom applications or extensions in SAP S/4HANA.

Error Message

ERR_SQLSCRIPT_PARAM_UNSUPPORTED_TYPE: Parameter has a non supported type
🔍

Known Causes

4 known causes
⚠️
Incorrect Data Type Specification
A parameter in the SQLScript code is declared with a data type that is not a valid or supported type within the SAP HANA SQLScript context.
⚠️
Misconfigured Custom Data Type
Attempting to use a custom or user-defined data type for a parameter that is either not properly defined or not supported for direct use in the specific SQLScript operation.
⚠️
External System Data Type Mismatch
When an SQLScript procedure is called from an external system, the data type of the passed argument does not match the expected supported type of the parameter.
⚠️
HANA Version Incompatibility
The data type used might be supported in a different version of SAP HANA but not in the specific version of the database being utilized by SAP S/4HANA.

Solutions

3 solutions available

1. Correct Parameter Data Type in SQLScript medium

Identify and modify the SQLScript to use supported data types for parameters.

1
Identify the SQLScript that is causing the error. This usually involves checking the application logs or debugging the specific ABAP code that calls the SQLScript.
2
Examine the parameter declarations within the SQLScript. Look for data types that are not standard SQL types or are specific to older database versions.
3
Consult the SAP HANA SQLScript documentation for a list of supported data types. Common unsupported types might include complex user-defined types or very specific internal SAP data structures that are not directly mappable.
4
Modify the SQLScript to use compatible data types. For example, if a parameter is declared as a complex structure, try to represent it using a combination of standard SQL types like VARCHAR, INTEGER, DECIMAL, or DATE.
-- Example: If 'MY_UNSUPPORTED_TYPE' was used for a parameter, change it to VARCHAR or NVARCHAR.
CREATE PROCEDURE MY_PROCEDURE ( IN MY_SUPPORTED_PARAM VARCHAR(100) ) 
LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT 
AS 
BEGIN 
  -- Procedure logic using MY_SUPPORTED_PARAM
END;
5
Recompile or redeploy the SQLScript and test the application again.

2. Adjust ABAP Data Type Mapping for SQLScript Parameters medium

Ensure that the ABAP data types used for passing parameters to the SQLScript are correctly mapped to supported HANA SQL types.

1
Locate the ABAP program or function module that calls the problematic SQLScript. Identify the variables being passed as parameters.
2
Analyze the data types of these ABAP variables. Some ABAP data types might not have a direct, automatic mapping to HANA SQLScript data types, especially if they are custom types or complex structures.
3
If the ABAP variable type is causing the issue, consider creating an intermediate ABAP variable with a standard, compatible data type (e.g., STRING, INT, DECIMAL) that maps cleanly to a HANA SQL type. Copy the data from the original variable to this intermediate variable before calling the SQLScript.
DATA: lv_param_value TYPE string.
DATA: lt_table_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF some_abap_structure.

" Populate lt_table_data

" Convert complex data to a format suitable for SQLScript, e.g., a string representation of a table or individual values.
" Example: If SQLScript expects a table of strings, convert your structure to that.
LOOP AT lt_table_data INTO DATA(ls_row).
  CONCATENATE lv_param_value ';' ls_row-field1 INTO lv_param_value SEPARATED BY space.
ENDLOOP.

" Call the SQLScript with the converted parameter
CALL FUNCTION 'MY_SQLSCRIPT_CALLER' 
  EXPORTING 
    iv_parameter = lv_param_value
  IMPORTING 
    ev_result    = DATA(lv_result).

" Note: This is a simplified example. The actual conversion logic will depend on the SQLScript's expected input.
4
Alternatively, if the SQLScript is a custom one, ensure its parameters are defined using fundamental HANA SQL types that are well-supported by ABAP data types.
5
Test the ABAP program after making the data type adjustments.

3. Use Table Type Parameters for Complex Data Transfer advanced

If passing complex structures or multiple records, define parameters as table types in SQLScript and use corresponding table types in ABAP.

1
Identify if the unsupported parameter type is related to passing structured data or multiple records. This often occurs when trying to pass an ABAP internal table directly without proper definition in HANA.
2
In SAP HANA, define a table type that mirrors the structure of the data you intend to pass from ABAP. Use standard HANA data types within the table type definition.
CREATE TYPE MY_TABLE_TYPE AS TABLE ( 
  FIELD1 VARCHAR(100), 
  FIELD2 INTEGER, 
  FIELD3 DECIMAL(10,2) 
);
3
Modify your SQLScript to accept a parameter of this newly defined table type.
CREATE PROCEDURE MY_PROCEDURE_WITH_TABLE ( IN IT_DATA MY_TABLE_TYPE ) 
LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT 
AS 
BEGIN 
  -- Procedure logic using IT_DATA
END;
4
In your ABAP code, define a corresponding table type that matches the structure of `MY_TABLE_TYPE` in HANA. Then, declare an internal table of this type.
TYPES: BEGIN OF ts_hana_data,
         field1 TYPE string,
         field2 TYPE i,
         field3 TYPE p DECIMALS 2,
       END OF ts_hana_data.
TYPES: tt_hana_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ts_hana_data WITH EMPTY KEY.

DATA: lt_data TYPE tt_hana_data.
5
Populate the ABAP internal table with the data and then call the SQLScript, passing the internal table as the parameter. SAP HANA adapters in ABAP typically handle the conversion of ABAP internal tables to HANA table types for procedure calls.
" Populate lt_data

CALL FUNCTION 'MY_SQLSCRIPT_CALLER' 
  EXPORTING 
    it_parameter = lt_data
  IMPORTING 
    ev_result    = DATA(lv_result).

" Note: 'MY_SQLSCRIPT_CALLER' would be a function module or method that wraps the CALL METHOD to the HANA procedure.
6
Deploy the changes to both HANA and ABAP and test.
