Overflow for arithmetical operation (type P) in program "SAPLCSS7 "

Information on where termination occurred

The termination occurred in the ABAP/4 program "SAPLCSS7 " in
"STUFE_02".
The main program was "Z_DOC_R_G1_002 ".

The termination occurred in line 242
of the source code of program "LCSS7FS1 " (when calling the editor 2420).

Source code extract

FORM STPO_LESEN USING LKL_STLAL.
   CLEAR: RET_CODE.
   CALL FUNCTION 'GET_STPO'
      EXPORTING  ALTER  = LKL_STLAL
                 DATUV  = PM_DATUV
                 SET    = 'X'
                 ALL    = 'X'
      TABLES     WA     = STPOB
                 ADD_WA = STERNTAB
      EXCEPTIONS NO_RECORD_FOUND      =   1
                 KEY_INCOMPLETE       =   2
                 KEY_INVALID          =   3
                 CALL_INVALID         =   4.
   RET_CODE = SY-SUBRC.
ENDFORM.

  FORM STUFE_01.
     AST_STUFE = 0.
  ENDFORM.

  FORM STUFE_02.
==> APS_STUFE = AST_STUFE + 1 .
  ENDFORM.

  FORM STUFE_03.
     CHECK NOT LTB-XTLNR IS INITIAL.

     AST_STUFE = LTB-STUFE.
  ENDFORM.

How to solve this issue. Please advice.

Thanks,

Hi Venkata,

Please check what is the field length of AST_STUFE . it could be the reason of overflow.

Also check the note it could help.

Note 869851 - Field overflow with large purchase order quantities

Symptom

When you create or change the quantity of purchase order items with large quantities, a runtime error occurs:
There is an overflow in an arithmetic operation (type P) in program "xxxxxxxx".

Other terms

OKCODE_ADSN, ITEM_PROCESS_MAIN, AD_SERIALNUMBER_IN_PO
SAPMM06E SAPLMEPO
COMPUTE_BCD_OVERFLOW, CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_OVERFLOW
ME21, ME21N, ME22, ME22N

Solution

From now on, order quantities up to an order quantity of 2147483647 are supported.
Caution:
We have since made additions to the corrections in 46C2.

Hi,

Check the type and length of APS_STUFE.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Manu,

Below are the data types :

aps_stufe like stpol-stufe, which is of type DEC   length  2 and

ast_stufe like stpol-stufe,  which is of type DEC   length  2

In debuging the values are as below:

Aps_Stufe = 999

Ast_Stufe = 999

How to solve this. Please help.

Thanks,

Venkata
