BCD_FIELD_OVERFLOW

[Former Member]

I am getting a BCD_FIELD_OVERFLOW error while assigning a value to a field symbol. the error message is

A value generated during processing is too large for the

field "<FS_VAL>" of the program "ZDUPLICATA_REPORT".

could anyone suggest how to handle large enough values using field symbols?

obviously it is a length issue.. Did you check the declaration of the field symbol "<FS_VAL>" in your Program ?

Declare the field-symbols using TYPE ANY.

the declaration is as follows :

field-symbols : <fs_val>.

i tried with type any. the error still stays.

the code is as follows...i am using assign component with the field symbol..

loop at itab into wa_dyntab.

<<...some code here ...>>

...

assign component lv_col_index_val of structure wa_dyntab to <fs_val>.

<fs_val> = wa_zduplicata_temp-zzvalor.

...

<<...some code here ...>>

endloop

lv_col_index_val is of type i.

the internal table field zzvalor is of type CURR (length 26 decimals 2).

is there a length limit with field symbols???

any further hints ?

Hi,

declare field symbol with datatype of the field you are using to store

value.

data var like konv-kbetr value '100.00'.

field-symbols:<fs> like konv-kbetr.

assign var to <fs>.

Hi,

Declare the field symbols like below

<b>field-symbols : <fs_val> type any</b>

Hi sudheer,

as i mentioned in my previous post, the error stays even after declaring field symbol as type any.

Hi,

you have to check the value in runtime & for currency & quantity fields we have to declare unit of measurements.

check its a problem of UOM field..

hi Rajesh,

I don't understand what you are saying.

please have a look at the code sample i wrote earlier and let me know if something is wrong there.
