Dump "CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT" in TCode VF04

[Former Member]

HI

I am getting runtime error u201COutput field too short for converted value.u201D in Tcode VF04.

In ST22 Error is given as below

Error in the SAP kernel.

The current ABAP "SAPLALFA" program had to be terminated because the

ABAP processor detected an internal system error.

This Dump is due to the FM u201CCONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUTu201D

Please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks

Check for the field you applied CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT. May be its length varies from the variable you defined to store. Do check if that field has a CONVERSION ROUTINE

Hi dsouzajovito

Can you please guide me how to fine the values in ST22?

Thanks

[Former Member]

Prajwal,

Go to ST22. Copy & Paste the relevant parts of Error Occurred , Diagonsis, Part of code which trigerred the dump. So that

you get better solutions. You could have been more specific on your first posting itself.

We came to know later about scheduling of background jobs which was working earlier.

Hi,

In ST22 double click on the dump.

Scroll to Error analysis and paste that block here.

Scroll to Chosen variables and paste that block here.

You will be able to see the values of the variables there.

Jovito.

Hi,

The exception you were getting because the Source and Target fields(i.e, Input and Output fields) in the function module parameters were of different lengths.

Suppose if you use in any of the following ways, you will get the exception:

data: in_val(8) type c value '12345678',

out_val(7) type c.

data: in_val(8) type c value '12345678',

out_val(6) type c.

but when you use as under, you will not get any error:

data: in_val(8) type c value '12345678',

out_val(8) type c.

so, try to debug and see the lengths in both the INPUT and OUTPUT fields and try to correct it and you will be able to rectify the error.

Please debug and let me know how it worked for you.

Regards,

Vishnu.

Hi.

I have found out some information about this issue. In note 617437 it is mentioned that we have to delete a part of code and insert some alternate code to solve dump. I have checked program RVREUSE_FORMS, it contain both deleted as well as newly included code.

move pi_kunde to da_temp.

condense da_temp.

if da_temp+8(2) co ' '.

call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

exporting

input = pi_kunde

importing

output = ls_vbpa-pernr.

else.

ls_vbpa-pernr = '00000000'.

endif.

call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

exporting

input = pi_kunde

importing

output = ls_vbpa-parnr.

Error is coming because of this. Now my worry is can I apply this note? Since its released long back?

My Current system component information is  SAP_APPL 600 0016 SAPKH60016 Logistics and Accounting

[Former Member]

Check for the VERSIONS that the note supports. If it supports your current system envirnoment then it would work fine, else you can check for some new updated OSS Notes (if available) and apply that.

Hi Prajwal ,

What are the types of the fields da_temp and pi_kunde.

Im assuming ls_vbpa-pernr is from table vbpa field pernr.

Hi dsouzajovito.

Please see the below form code.

form reuse_partneranschrift using pi_kunde

pi_parvw

pi_ardnr.

data: ls_vbpa like vbpa,

ls_vbadr like vbadr,

ls_adrs like adrs,

da_temp(60) type c.

call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

exporting

input = pi_kunde

importing

output = ls_vbpa-kunnr.

call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

exporting

input = pi_kunde

importing

output = ls_vbpa-lifnr.

move pi_kunde to da_temp.

condense da_temp.

if da_temp+8(2) co ' '.

call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

exporting

input = pi_kunde

importing

output = ls_vbpa-pernr.

else.

ls_vbpa-pernr = '00000000'.

endif.

call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

exporting

input = pi_kunde

importing

output = ls_vbpa-parnr.

[Former Member]

Hi Prajwal,

Your error is pretty simple.

The reason you are getting this error is cuz the field pi_kunde is greater than 10 characters.

If you try the below two, the first one will fail and the second will be successful.

PERFORM reuse_partneranschrift USING  '50000000000' '100' '200'.
PERFORM reuse_partneranschrift USING  '500000000' '100' '200'.

If you still need further help,

paste the

perform statement

here along with the data types of the variables you are passing.
