DUMP error

Former Member — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 08:51:24 GMT

Hi All,

I've a Z program which is giving short dump.

this program is being used from past 5 years. no errors upto now.

But now the program is givin short dump error.

Plz find the error analysis below.

Error analysis

An arithmetic operation in the current program "ZXXXXXX" 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.

There is no such location in my Z program where the dump analysis says.

What could be the probable cause for the error.

Thank you.

Regards,

Chinna

Hi Chinna

This is basically due to the number format. Go to SU3 Go to defaults Tab and check Field * Decimal Notation*

In your program that packed number would have wrongly caught data logged in other format.

E.g: Suppose you are using 123,00.00 fromat and the program fetched 123.00,00 fromat then it would give a dump.

Solution is make the data that field consistent in one fromat.

Check this Table USR01 and its field DCPFM.

USR01 User master record (runtime data)

DCPFM Decimal notation

Thanks

I hardly guess you upgraded from a non unicode system to a unicode system, am i right?

Chinna,

as this is the z report, you can debug one time complenetly till u get dump, in second attempt u will get to know the cause.

Didn't the dump printout point to the line where the problem occurred? SAP doesn't make these errors up randomly, the problem exists!

Hi The Dump is showing a place BUT there is no such statements like DO

We've not upgraded the system. we are still using 4.6C only....

Hi Mukesh,

thank you for your help full answer.

you said the problem is with some decimal notation.

but I am not the one who execute the program in PRODUCTION.

any one can execute the program and any time.

How can this be solved then.

Chinna

Hi Mukesh,

I guess your right.

How to change the field DCPFM in USR01 table.

Hi Mukesh,

I changed the filed using SU01.

But it is of no use.

the program is still giving DUMP.

I've tested with different user names also.but no use.

if i test the program in QUALITY & DEVELOPMENT systems it is ok. but PRODUCTION only it is giving DUMP.

i am giving the the example code where it showing is error ARROW.

LOOP AT ITAB1.

..............

...............

LOOP AT ITAB2.

...................

> X = X + Y.

ENDLOOP.

Chinna

What is the title of the short dump? Does it happen right away or after some time of processing?

How is Y filled? X = X + Y might well lead to a field overflow in systems with growing data (like production).

If not too long, show the entire code snippet inside the loops (using tags please).

right at the time when you see the DUMP(after running the code)... click on debugger. it will take you to the debugger and stuck at the line where it has terminated. and see the exacrt values in X and Y

Hi Thomas,

title of the short Dump is "Packed field contains incorrect BCD format".

here i am giving the exact code for you.

003060 SORT INT1 BY 1-SUBS 1-DK 1-CUST 1-SUPP.

003070 DEBTOT = 0.

003080 ASSTOT = 0.

003090 GLTOT = 0.

003100 TOTTOT = 0.

003110 " grandtot = 0.

003120 LOOP AT INT1.

003130 SELECT SINGLE * FROM KNA1

003140 WHERE KUNNR = INT1-1-CUST.

003150 WRITE: / INT1-1-SUPP, ' ', INT1-1-CUST, ' ', INT1-1-SUBS,

003160 KNA1-NAME1(25),

003170 INT1-1-NETAR, INT1-1-NETAP.

003180 LOOP AT INT2.

003190 IF INT1-1-CUST = INT2-2-CUST AND INT1-1-SUPP = INT2-2-SUPP.

003200 WRITE: /116 INT2-2-GLACC.

003210 WRITE: 123 INT2-2-NETGL.

003220 GLTOT = GLTOT + INT2-2-NETGL.

> DKGLTOT = DKGLTOT + INT2-2-NETGL.

003240 ENDIF.

003250 ENDLOOP.

003260 WRITE: 149 INT1-1-TOTBAL.

003270 DEBTOT = DEBTOT + INT1-1-NETAP.

003280 ASSTOT = ASSTOT + INT1-1-NETAR.

003290 TOTTOT = TOTTOT + INT1-1-TOTBAL.

003300 DKDEBTOT = DKDEBTOT + INT1-1-NETAP.

003310 DKASSTOT = DKASSTOT + INT1-1-NETAR.

003320 DKTOTTOT = DKTOTTOT + INT1-1-TOTBAL.

003330 ENDLOOP.

And this code is being working fine from past 9 years.

this is the first time it is giving DUMP.

Chinna.

Problem is in the value of Y.

Check the value of Y.

To test it... Place a debugger at this statement. When you are at that statement change the value of Y to 0.

Then test it.. If it runs fine then we can change the format of the Y or assign Y to some temporary variable and process it.

Hi Mukesh,

here both X & Y values are with same data type of 15 characters with 2 decimal points.

I guess you are retrieving values from a database table, the problem might be because of the values inside the table, this can happen, so check the value of the particular entry where you are getting dump and see. if possible provide the values of DKGLTOT and INT2-2-NETGL.

Thanks and Regards

COMMIT WORK.

ENDFORM.

If i am putting a break point at LOOP AT INT1 statement, and if i execute the program, the program is not taking me to the DEBUGGER and the place where i kept break point. the debugger is not even opened.

its directly giving DUMP.

please help me..

Probably not. You haven't shown how int2 is populated.
