Data error (invalid data type 17) in a Remote Function Call

Question

Hi,
I am passing 2 select-option tables to RFC.
Tables have structures -
   Table1  SIGN(C1)
               OPTION(C2)
               HIGH(C6)
               LOW(C6)
   Table2  SIGN(C1)
               OPTION(C2)
               HIGH(C20)
               LOW(C20)
At the destination side, I have created two table types which have same structure.
But when I call the RFC , program terminates with error - "Data error (invalid data type 17) in a Remote Function Call"
  Not able to understand the reason for this error. Please help.
Thanks,
Sujeet

Hi,
check out this example
[LINK|http://abap.googlar.eu/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28]
You have several ranges that you can use like RANGE_AUF.
Function example:
FUNCTION zexemple.
*"*"Interface local:
*"  IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(R_HORA) TYPE  FLAG
*"     REFERENCE(R_DIA_1) TYPE  FLAG
*"     REFERENCE(P_IDOC) TYPE  FLAG
*"  EXPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(MSG) TYPE  CHAR255
*"  TABLES
*"      T_OIFSPBL STRUCTURE  OIFSPBL
*"      SL_PBLNR STRUCTURE  RANGE_PBLNR
*"      SL_MATNR STRUCTURE  RANGE_MATNR
*"      SL_HORA STRUCTURE  RANGE_UZEIT
*"      T_ERROS STRUCTURE  ZARSTRING
ENDFUNCTION.
Report:
SELECT-OPTIONS: sl_pblnr FOR oirbpblb-pblnr,
                              sl_matnr FOR a361-matnr.

Final question:
You are passing the values using TABLES and not IMPORTING right?
