Exception condition "CONVERSION_ERROR" raised.

Former Member · ‎2008 Jul 28

Hi,

We have been getting short dumps in our production system daily. I was unable to locate the problem by looking at the dump. The dump says that CONVERSION_ERROR raised.

Which application raised this exception? Again no clue on the same. Please find the text of the dump.

Short text

Exception condition "CONVERSION_ERROR" raised.

What happened?

The current ABAP/4 program encountered an unexpected

situation.

What can you do?

Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.

To process the problem further, contact you SAP system

administrator.

Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look

at and manage termination messages, and you can also

keep them for a long time.

Error analysis

A RAISE statement in the program "CL_SWF_CNT_CONTAINER==========CP" raised the

exception

condition "CONVERSION_ERROR".

Since the exception was not intercepted by a superior

program, processing was terminated.

Short description of exception condition:

For detailed documentation of the exception condition, use

Transaction SE37 (Function Library). You can take the called

function module from the display of active calls.

How to correct the error

If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to

find an interim solution in an SAP Note.

If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following

keywords:

"RAISE_EXCEPTION" " "

"CL_SWF_CNT_CONTAINER==========CP" or "CL_SWF_CNT_CONTAINER==========CM02J"

"IF_SWF_CNT_CONVERSION~TO_XML"

or

"CL_SWF_CNT_CONTAINER==========CP" "CONVERSION_ERROR"

or

"SAPMSSY1 " "CONVERSION_ERROR"

If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error

notification to SAP, include the following information:

1. The description of the current problem (short dump)

To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File

(Unconverted)".

2. Corresponding system log

Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.

Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes

after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File

(Unconverted)".

3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP

program: The source code of the program

In the editor, choose "Utilities->More

Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".

4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which

actions and input led to the error.

Hi,

This dump occurs when you pass inappropriate data types to another data type where no conversion rule exists.

Check this link for more info:-

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/Helpdata/EN/fc/eb3427358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm

Best of luck,

Hi,

U will receive this error when ever it is not possible to achieve runtime conversion.

i.e When u r passing the data from one type variable to another type if the conversion is not defined or not possible u will get this dump. Just analyze the dump in ST22.

Look at this simple example. Here i am trying to assign 101.23 to l_p for which length is not sufficient. So i will get dump. But if u do the same with character variable it will truncate the data.

DATA: l_p(2) TYPE P DECIMALS 2.

l_p = '103.23'.

WRITE l_p.

So check the place where u r getting the dump. It must be some assignment statement.

Hope it gave some idea on ur case.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Hi Bhumika and Vinod,

Your information is most useful. But the exception was raised in standard SAP program. I don't have any clue which application is causing this dump. If I can know the application which is triggering the dump I can validate the values that are being passed and why this dump has been triggered.

I think there must be some conversion rules that should be applied along with SAP note.

Can anybody suggest on the same?

Thanks,

Ravikumar.

Please check the Data types of the variables you are trying to transfer the data.

If that is fine, Check for the data u are passing. It should not exceed the total length it is allowed to do in Numc case.

Probably this can solve the issue.
