Syntax error while doing Convert data in LSMW

Former Member — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 04:56:52 GMT

Hi experts,

I am using direct input method for uploading customer master records. After display read data step, when i click Convert data button, i get a runtime error saying that:

the data object "LEGACY_CUSTOMER_MASTER" has no component called "OLD_CUST_NO", but there is a component called "SAP_CUST_NO".

But actually we do not need OLD_CUST_NO field, so i did not include it while maintaining source fields. Someone plz help. I urgently need to resolve this.

Thanks.

hi,

You will have to create the lsmw again to do it without OLD_CUST_NO. If you want to progress with the same lsmw program, then you will have to add the OLD_CUST_NO field. In the flat file dont give value for the field. leave it empty.

Thanks for the reply Gokul. But in my current LSMW also, I have not created OLD_CUST_NO source field. Still the standard program gives a syntax error. I can add this field in the flat file, but how do i maintain it in step 3, i.e. maintain source fields because while creating lsmw using standard input, i have already included only required source fields.

by seeing just change the lsmw as per the needs.

Thanks

Hi ,

I think you have declared the filed old_cust_no in the maintain field mapping step may be in global declaration or in the mapping section of hte field. Without the use of filed OLD_CUST_NO you wont get the syntax error. Check the sysntax error in field mapping step and delete the unwanted field.Check the filed mapping section carefully based on the error.

Thanks.
