Short Dump and no syntax error

Former Member — Fri, 31 May 2013 15:43:29 GMT

Hello Abap experts,

I am testing a new logic in an abap code, it's not completely finished...so don't keep to much attention to the logic

I have no syntax error in my editor, but while debugging or testing it i get a short dump : illegal sign.

I think that is proviked by the IF written after the loop, i don't know how to bypass it, Normally I am supposed to add treatments after the IF.

Thanks for support.

Just before this loop, In debug, check the SIGN field in range variable t_zpcfrom. You might have some undesired character assigned there.

Hello.

I think that the problem is located in the IN statement of the IF. Probable the variable R_ZPCFROM has some wrong values.

comment the IN part of the IF and check if the program works correct, if no dump means the problem is there.

Hi Miguel,

In fact you are right.

But i need the two conditions for my treatments any idea how can i bypass it?

Thanks.

You can keep the condition there, but the way you are populating that range variable is wrong. Track back and see what values are there in that range variable r_zpcfrom. Pay attention to the column SIGN of the range variable, there has to be some wrong character there. Best way is to put a break point at this statement where you are getting error and then see the range variable in debugger and look for the values in SIGN column, you might want 'I' there for include.

Example:

Enter the value for sign and option field while appending values in select option.

Hi Shafiq,

Here my declaration part, i am not very comfortable with ranges, could you tell me if smthg is wrong with my coding:

DATA : r_zfuncfrom TYPE RANGE OF /bic/pzsplit-/bic/zfuncfrom,

r_zpcfrom TYPE RANGE OF /bic/pzsplit-/bic/zpcfrom,

r_zfuncfrom_line LIKE LINE OF r_zfuncfrom,

r_zpcfrom_line LIKE LINE OF r_zpcfrom.

r_zfuncfrom_line-sign = 'I'.

r_zfuncfrom_line-option = 'BT'.

r_zpcfrom_line-sign = 'I'.

r_zpcfrom_line-option = 'BT'.

SELECT /bic/zsplit

/bic/zfuncfrom

/bic/zfromto

/bic/zpcfrom

/bic/zpcto

/bic/y_rmaccnt

INTO TABLE t_tablesource

FROM /bic/pzsplit WHERE objvers = 'A' AND /bic/zsplit IS NOT NULL.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

SORT t_tablesource BY /bic/zsplit.

ENDIF.

Thanks.

I can see that you have APPEND on line 2071 and 2072, they are fine. And as you mentioned above that you are assigning the sign 'I' as well, I hope you are not using CLEAR on this range variable in the middle somewhere?

Another thing is that you are using 'BT' (i.e. Between) try changing that to 'EQ' and only use 'low' field of the range and keep the 'high' as blank.

If that does not work as well, then can you take a screenshot of the range table in debugger? like I have one in my earlier post?

Dear Amine,

Can you please look in this way..

Generally when a negative sign is coming in the field where that field as defined as Currency type...

Please refer to your variable as

1. At the time of dump, what is the value it is having... is it -ve?

2. What is the variable type... It should be a normal P decimals 2 .... if it is like DMBTR, like currency ... then it will give short dump...

Venkat

Hello.

Change the variable staments

yours:

data: r_zfuncfrom TYPE RANGE OF /bic/pzsplit-/bic/zfuncfrom,
          r_zpcfrom TYPE RANGE OF /bic/pzsplit-/bic/zpcfrom,
          r_zfuncfrom_line LIKE LINE OF r_zfuncfrom,
          r_zpcfrom_line LIKE LINE OF r_zpcfrom.

Use this:

data: r_zfuncfrom TYPE RANGE OF /bic/pzsplit-/bic/zfuncfrom with header line,
      r_zpcfrom TYPE RANGE OF /bic/pzsplit-/bic/zpcfrom with header line,
      r_zfuncfrom_line TYPE RANGE OF /bic/pzsplit-/bic/zfuncfrom with header line,
      r_zpcfrom_line TYPE RANGE OF /bic/pzsplit-/bic/zpcfrom with header line.

r_zfuncfrom_line should be same type as r_zfuncfrom.

I think that ur problem is in the declaration of R_ZFUNCFROM_LINE AND R_ZPCFROM_LINE.

Check it and replace R_ZFUNCFROM_LINE for R_ZFUNFROM.

I guess that it will work...and then u can fix

Hi Shafiq,

It's a range, if i replace it by 'EQ' it's not a range anymore, isn't it?

Thanks Miguel,

It's not working, by changing my declaration as you mentioned, i am getting the following error:

"Type "R_ZFUNCFROM" is unknown"

Thanks Neha,

But i am not using a select-option.

Before the two APPEND r_xxx to r_xxx, fill sign and option (r_xxx-isgn = 'I', r_xxx-option = 'EQ') As the dump mentions it explicitally the field SIGN value is invalid (space).

Are you sure the LOOP AT SOURCE_PACKAGE must be in the range-filling LOOP AT t_tablesource ?

Raymond

It will still be a range variable, even if there is only one line with EQ in it. You will have multiple lines with EQ. You can have lines with BT as well, but you need to make sure that low and high are assigned properly and the sign is also assigned properly. That's why I was asking for a screenshot of the range variable from debug, that will solve the problem very easily.
