To work around the error, you can serialize only serializable data, or you use the option DATA_REFS = HEAP or DATA_REFS = HEAP-OR-CREATE. The ABAP data cannot be serialized. Please see abap error for more details about the possible cause of this runtime error and how it could be avoided.

When CALL TRANSFORMATION was called, the option DATA_REFS = HEAP-OR-ERROR was specified. A short dump was raised, because it was tried to serialize a reference that was created by the command GET REFERENCE OF ... INTO ... . The ABAP data cannot be displayed in the specified XML format.
