Shortdump BCD_BADDATA

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to do a Delta load for 2LIS_11_VAITM. The Init without data loaded successfully, and the Full Upload (repair) ran successfully.

When I attempt to do a normal Delta load I am getting no records and a red light in the monitor.

<b>Under the status tab</b> it has the following text:

-

---

Error message from the source system

Diagnosis

An error occurred in the source system.

System response

Caller 09 contains an error message.

Further analysis:

The error occurred in Extractor .

Refer to the error message.

Procedure

How you remove the error depends on the error message.

Note

If the source system is a Client Workstation, then it is possible that the file that you wanted to load was being edited at the time of the data request. Make sure that the file is in the specified directory, that it is not being processed at the moment, and restart the request.

<b>Under the details tab</b>, I open up 'Extraction' and I see 'Error occurred in the data selection'.

The message for that node is "05/09/2007 08:50:14 Job in source system terminated --> Request is set to red. RSM 78"

________________________

I go to the <b>source system</b> and I find the following <b>Short Dump in ST22</b>

"Packed field contains incorrect BCD format."

<b>Under the 'Error Analysis' section it says:</b>

Error analysis

An arithmetic operation in the current program "GP8YTD73L538NAE26ZTIY13IMFS "

attempts

to process a field of type P that contains an invalid

BCD format.

Possible reasons:

1. If the field is part of a field string and its current contents are

hex 20: the field string was deleted with MOVE SPACE ... instead of

CLEAR.

2. The VARYING parameter was incorrectly placed within a DO loop,

e.g. because the TIMES parameter was too large.

Similar for WHILE ... VARY.

3. A FIELD-SYMBOL was incorrectly assigned.

<b>Information on where termination occurred</b>

The termination occurred in the ABAP/4 program "GP8YTD73L538NAE26ZTIY13IMFS "

in

"INVERT_KEY_FIGURES".

The main program was "SBIE0001 ".

The termination occurred in line 362

of the source code of program "GP8YTD73L538NAE26ZTIY13IMFS " (when calling the

editor 3620).

The program "GP8YTD73L538NAE26ZTIY13IMFS " was started as a background job.

======================

What I learned from debugging the extractor in RSA3 is that the field ANZAUPO has the value 30303030. This value is supposed to be multiplied by -1. That value of 303030 is obviously incorrect and that is probably why I get the dump when it is time to multiply by -1 in the code for the extractor.

On http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8f/36f338472b420de10000000a114084/frameset.htm I can see that 0ORD_ITEMS Number of order items MC_ANZAUPO ANZAUPO

ANZAUPO

So the field that I am having problems with is from MC_ANZAUPO, because of the MC I believe this may be related to the datasource/extractor. I don't think this field is one that the user populates, somehow the system assigns this value (I am guessing). Also the only area I am having problems with is 2LIS_11_VAITM. The other ones are working fine (ie: 2LIS_11_VASTI)

I was able to look in RSA7 and view this field in the Delta Queue, I had to add it to the default view though. It reflected good data here.

Can anybody help with this one?

Thanks,

Nick

I was able to get the data to load successfully. But I had to clear teh data from the ODS's, clear the delta pointer from the infopackage, and redo the setup tables, reinit, etc.

I am not sure why the problem occured.

hi All,

I am getting the same error in the same application area. Can any one help me how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

It seems to me as a data entry problem, probabaly, user might have entered

alpha numeric values instead of numeric with decimals..

try to find out the corresponding document by debugging the extractor program

at RSA3 and correct the entries manually.

You can make the changes to the document - once you find the doc. no.

if you can't then ask your user to correct the entry..delete the setup

and refill the setup table and load ( If you can't capture this change in your Delta)

Hope it helps..

Thanks=Points.
