Offset length error

Former Member — Sat, 26 Sep 2015 12:34:21 GMT

Hi all,

I am facing offset length error when working bapi. I am passing data for custom fields in PRPS table.But when i am passing data i facing following error.

'The sum of the offset and length (=480) exceeds the length of the start (=387) of the structure. This is not allowed in Unicode programs. . - -'.Please help me in resolving this.

Regards.

You may show us the coding sequence. Mostly, the part, quoted in the Dump is enough.

Please refer to below code what i had written.

lw_bape_prps-wbs_element = lw_wbs1-wbs_element.

lw_bape_prps-customer_id = lw_wbs1-customer_id.

lw_bape_prps-customer_grp = lw_wbs1-customer_group.

lw_bape_prps-customer_geo = lw_wbs1-customer_geo.

lw_extension-structure = 'BAPI_TE_WBS_ELEMENT'.

lw_extension-valuepart1 = lw_bape_prps+0(240).

lw_extension-valuepart2 = lw_bape_prps+240(240).

lw_extension-valuepart3 = lw_bape_prps+240(185).

APPEND lw_extension TO lt_extension.

CLEAR lw_extension.

And the structure 'Bapi_te_wbs_element' contains fields as below

WBS_ELEMENT	PS_POSID
.INCLUDE	CI_PRPS
ZGROUP	KOSTL
ZSKILL	CHAR40
PO_ITEM	NUMC3
ZDATE1	ZDATE1

Hi Sirdhar,

The length of VALUEPART* is 240 characters in BAPI Extension structure.

In below code, you are using offset position with more than 240 characters.


  lw_extension-valuepart2 = lw_bape_prps+240(240).
  lw_extension-valuepart3 = lw_bape_prps+240(185).

Please correct this to avoid any offset errors.

Thanks

As valuepart1 is filled upto 240 characters i am asking to start at 240 for next value.

Re: Offset length error

The length of bape-prps is 385, you want to read out of this range (240+240). Use 240(145) instead.

My BAPI_TE_WBS_ELEMENT structure length is 665.And customer id ,customer group fields are at last of the structure.I need to use total length.Please see above code i had pasted.

Re: Offset length error

ralf_wenzel_heuristika — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 06:29:22 GMT

How did you determine this length?

Re: Offset length error

RaymondGiuseppi — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 06:38:24 GMT

Could you try to use an unicode dedicated tool as


cl_abap_container_utilities=>fill_container_c(
  EXPORTING
    im_value              = wa_bapi_te_prps
  IMPORTING
    ex_container          = extensionin+30 ).

Hint: The BAPI will execute method cl_abap_container_utilities=>read_container_c to read the extensionin parameter (try to set a break-point or analyze the source).

Regards,

Raymond

I had determined this length by adding all fields length.

HI AnuMolu Sridhar ,

As of my knowledge , the issue is in below highlighted code

lw_extension-valuepart1 = lw_bape_prps+0(240).

lw_extension-valuepart2 = lw_bape_prps+240(240).

lw_extension-valuepart3 = lw_bape_prps+240(185).

Change it as stated below

lw_extension-valuepart1 = lw_bape_prps+0(240). " first 240 characters you have read - Correct

lw_extension-valuepart2 = lw_bape_prps+240(240). " From the position 240 , you are reading 240 char here.So total 480 chars (Value part 1+value part 2 )you have read here- Correct

lw_extension-valuepart3 = lw_bape_prps+480(185). " Till 480 its already read , so from 480 we should read the 185 characters.

Try this and let me know if this solves your issue.

Hi Bhuvaneswari,

As mentioned by you i had changed the above code and i getting following error.'The sum of the offset and length (=480) exceeds the length of the start (=387) of the structure. This is not allowed in Unicode programs. . - -'.Please help in solving.

Please show me your declaration of lw_bape_prps

Re: Offset length error

ralf_wenzel_heuristika — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 11:25:41 GMT

you are right, but this is not the same as "out of range"

Re: Offset length error

Former Member — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 11:45:44 GMT

Declaration is as follows....

lw_bape_prps TYPE bapi_te_wbs_element.

And this structure contains as below fields.

hmmm, which coding line exactly is highlighted by this error?

Re: Offset length error

Former Member — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 12:33:02 GMT

lw_bape_prps-wbs_element = lw_wbs1-wbs_element.

lw_bape_prps-customer_id = lw_wbs1-customer_id.

lw_bape_prps-customer_grp = lw_wbs1-customer_group.

lw_bape_prps-customer_geo = lw_wbs1-customer_geo.

lw_extension-structure = 'BAPI_TE_WBS_ELEMENT'.

lw_extension-valuepart1 = lw_bape_prps+0(240).

lw_extension-valuepart2 = lw_bape_prps+240(240).----------------------------in this line it is encounting error.

lw_extension-valuepart3 = lw_bape_prps+480(185).

APPEND lw_extension TO lt_extension.

CLEAR lw_extension.

#388 is the first character of ZCONRATE....

Re: Offset length error

Former Member — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 13:30:30 GMT

Yes Ralf Wenzel,

You are correct 388 is the first character of ZCONRATE.
