Error When Migrating GL Balances using LSMW Direct Input method

Former Member — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:51:33 GMT

Hi,

I tried to Migrate Open GL Balances but ended up in a Runtime Error. The error occured while executing the Direct Input Program (RFBIBL00).

The error was "Unable to Interpret "\" as a number" and the code where the error was raised is given below.

> IF BBKPF-VATDATE(1) NE NODATA.

CLEAR: FTPOST-FNAM, FTPOST-FVAL.

FTPOST-FNAM = 'BKPF-VATDATE '.

FTPOST-FVAL = BBKPF-VATDATE .

APPEND FTPOST.

ENDIF.

In structure BBKPF the field VATDATE is of type DATS where as all the other fields in it are of type CHAR. I guess this could be the problem.

I tried to pass date by hardcoding in Field Mapping but still facing the same problem. I checked for SAP Notes and found similar kind of Problem in BBSEG but not able to find any in BBKPF.

kindly throw some light upon this.

Thanks,

Prashanth

This is indeed the reason. However, BBKPF-VATDATE is type CHAR in my system, ECC 6. What is your release?

Hi Thomas,

Mine is SAP ECC 6.0. Do you have any idea of how to correct this.

thanks,

THanks alot thomas,

One more question is if i have to change it then i would require a Access Key right and this one is different from the Developer Access Key i hope.

ANyways that was great i tried to search and nearly spent couple of hours and ending up with none. I have to learn how to search in Web :).

Thanks alot once more.

Regards,

No problem. You can implement the note with transaction SNOTE, no access key required.

I searched for "BBKPF-VATDATE" and hat only three hits in the support portal. Always use technical terms for searching if possible.

Cheers

Thomas

Serves me right, because the DDIC change described in the note has to be done via SE11, so access key is required...
