DDIC Table with INT4 column

Former Member — Wed, 07 Mar 2018 15:50:15 GMT

Hello,

It seems that there is an error in SAP DDIC when you want to display the length of an table in the "runtime object" view.

Please insert the following table (in an unicode system):

- Column 1: INT4

- Column 2: CHAR1

=> The table length when displaying the "runtime object" is 8 which is wrong. The offset of column 2 is 4 + 2 bytes for char 1 should be 6.

If you insert the following table with Char2 it works:
- Column 1: INT4
- Column 2: CHAR2

=> The table length is now 8. Offset of column 2 is 4 + 4 bytes is 8

Is there a hint - unfortunately could not find one?
Best regards

Looks and feels like alignment.

Hello Horst,

That could be a possible reason.

But in this case the DDIC makes some errors when it displayes the "offset" of the columns and the "overall length".

The real problem we have with the SAP function module:

CHANGEDOCUMENT_MULTIPLE_CASE

It seems that the function module read the "overall length" => headerlength

If the headerlength is wrong - as in this case - we get a short dump DATA_OFFSET_TOO_LARGE in line 94

<f_field_x> = <f_area_x>+headerlength(gs_par-charlengthx).

Best Regards
