Problem with ECC6.0 version.

[Former Member]

Experts,

I find that in a standard program RSSTATDA there is a field RSYSTEM which is declared of type long_inst which is CHAR of 39 size.

But the same field is declared in 4.7 & lower versions of type short_inst which is CHAR of 8 size.

In both the versions this field is used in number of function modules in many standard programs.

I get a short dump in ECC 6.0 version due to this. Anyone had faced the same problem pls help.

Thanks & regards,

Kevin.

Dear Kevin,

Yes the field reference has changed in ECC6 may be they would like to enhance the field value.

but if you look at the Structure SWELSERV - the contents of the fields has not changed only that it has been pointed from INST_SHORT to NAME.

This should be raised as a customer messge back to SAP and they will give you an approrpiate solution.

The other option is that look at OSS notes which would give you some clue how to revert back to old values or retain the new values as it would have done some correction or you mahy have to apply some enhancement package.

Hope this helps you to go with some clues atleast

Encourage other to answer your queries by suitably rewarding them

Thanks
