IMPORT Parameter run time CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR

[paruchuri_nagesh]

Recently we have upgraded our SAP system . After upgrade the new SAP standard append structures  been added to table VBAP
Due to this the import statement in one of the Z program throwing run time error as follows

Error when attempting to IMPORT object "I_VBAP" An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.

The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was  not caught and

therefore caused a runtime error.The reason for the exception is:When importing the object "I_VBAP", the component 279 in the dataset

had a different length from the corresponding component of the target object in the program "YXYZ".
I did check all the EXPORT and IMPORT all are looking good . But could not figure out root cause . Hence requesting experts to help me out

Hi,

Have you verified how the I_VBAP declared in that Z program, how is the VBAP table accessed( selected specified fields or all fields). Also check whether the table VBAP is activated correctly after the Append structure., Activate it using Database Utility from SE11.

Thanks & Regards

Bala Krishna.

Bala..

Declarations are as followed

DATA: BEGIN OF I_VBAP OCCURS 10000.

        INCLUDE STRUCTURE VBAP.

DATA: DELIVERY_BLOCK LIKE VBEP-LIFSP.

DATA: SEND_TO_IDOC.

DATA: ALREADY_CHECKED.

DATA: END OF I_VBAP.
VBAP table status showing as active

Where exactly the dump occuring in the Z program, i mean is it at any select on VBAP, have you analysed the dump in ST22 tcode, just verify at which place of code the dump is getting triggered.

[paruchuri_nagesh]

Exactly at IMPORT I_VBAP . I have analysed the short dump

[former_member585060]

Can you specify where the values are exported to I_VBAP with EXPORT statement and what the structure of that I_VBAP.

The I_VBAP used in EXPORT statement must be different from the IMPORT statement....

One scenario where such dump can  happen is - the IMPORT statement getting data from memory which were saved before the upgrade happened(or change in structure happened).

If yes, then read the INDX table for thePGMID and move the old data(old format) from memory to the new  format in memory.

let me know, I can add the code for the same.
