MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN

Former Member — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 07:37:53 GMT

Hi ABAP gurus ,

please provide me the solution sothis dump.

Country NL
System SAP P10
Area EDI
daily we they are getting 24 dumps (every hr) in P10.
Dump – MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN
User - hjkuyhi

Program - SAPLPC32
FM - TP_INVOICE_CVTYP_CHECK
As per log it says, “Message type is unknown” and as per error analysis “Only message types A, E, I, W, S, and X are allowed”.
is TRFC is responsible for dump which was executed same time when dump occurred.

Runtime Errors MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN
Date and Time 2012-09-17 23:41:46

Short text
Message type " " is unknown.

What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program

The current ABAP program "SAPLPC32" had to be terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.

What can you do?
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.

To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
administrator.

     Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.

Error analysis
Only message types A, E, I, W, S, and X are allowed.

How to correct the error
Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
-

   If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
   find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
   If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
   keywords:

   "MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN" " "
   "SAPLPC32" or "LPC32U12"
   "TP_INVOICE_CVTYP_CHECK"

If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
notification to SAP, include the following information:

1. The description of the current problem (short dump)

To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
(Unconverted)".

2. Corresponding system log

      Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
      Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
   after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
   (Unconverted)".

   3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
   program: The source code of the program
      In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
   Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".

4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
actions and input led to the error.

Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLPC32" - in
     "TP_INVOICE_CVTYP_CHECK".
    The main program was "SAPMSSY1 ".

In the source code you have the termination point in line 101
of the (Include) program "LPC32U12".

78 NO_CVPROF_FOR_KOKRS = 2

79 KOKRS_NOT_FOUND = 3

80 OTHERS = 4.

82 * check if transfer pricing is active

83 CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0 AND

84 ACTIVE = 'X'.

86 * defaults

87 group = gc-false.

88 prctr = gc-false.

90 if not i_ebeln is initial and not i_ebelp is initial.

91 CALL FUNCTION 'ME_EKPO_SINGLE_READ'

92 EXPORTING

93 PI_EBELN = i_ebeln

94 PI_EBELP = I_ebelp

95 IMPORTING

96 PO_EKPO = ekpo

97 EXCEPTIONS

98 others = 8.

100 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

>>>> MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

102 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

103 ENDIF.

104 endif.

105

106 * if group or prctr valuation exist, then the default says there should

107 * be seperate values for these valuations

108 LOOP AT T_TCVPROFD.

109 if T_TCVPROFD-valutyp = GC-VALUTYP_GROUP.

110 group = gc-true.

please provide the solution,

Hi Arpita,

The problem is caused exactly where the arrow shows, i.e line 101 in program SAPMSSY1 in include LPC32U12.

To fix this just comment the line 101 and line 102 and the problem will be solved.

Or put a message you want to screen like this (instead of lines 101 and 102):

MESSAGE 'WHAT WILL SHOW ON STATUS BAR' TYPE 'I'.

Instead of type 'i' (which stands for information) you can use types A, E, W, S, and X where type E(error) will halt the process at that case.

From what it seems the first option of making lines 101,102 into a comment is what the code writer intended, otherwise he would have taking care of the messages to begin with.

The reason for this is that the person that made the code at that point, probably, used the pattern button in the ABAP editor when he inserted the function 'ME_EKPO_SINGLE_READ', as a default the code:

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

is added, however these variables are not defined - or in the error lingo - are unknown.

This will solve your problem.

All the best,

Iftah

this is the standard program and the standard functional module

The dump is very easy: the fm is trying to select a purchase document doesn't exist.

Try to check if there's a SAP note, but if there's no note, probably some inconsistency is in the data, because that error is was not expected.

HI,

The correction I have suggested will solve this issue - even if its a SAP program.

This will be a first aid kind of solution and you can continue your research in the meanwhile.

Best,

Iftah.

Yes your solution will works but it needs to considere it's a standard program:

so if you think it's all correct (I mean the data and how the user runs the report), you should open an OSS message to SAP, it could be a bug not solved yet.

Hi Max,

First off I agree with you, read what I said - this is a first aid solution.

Arpita, try implementing notes 548121,676245,321767,392649,411846,129238,215949,117852,155094,144536,305159,

78412,377910,126826,542666.

These are all notes that are directly associated with this program and helped us with issues in this process.

Best,

Iftah.
