table DD03L - Field Internal Length issue

[Former Member]

Our Basis team performed a system refresh from our Production ECC 6 server to our Sandbox server.

Afterwards, we noticed an issue in table DD03L - this table holds the

table & field definitions for the data dictionary objects.

In DD03L, we found that the internal lengths (field INTLEN) of all of

our fields in table PA0001 had doubled from their original lengths. It

seems that this issue is affecting table PA00001 only - For example, Field ABKRS shows an INTLEN = 4 while in Production INTLEN = 2.

However, when we view PA0001 in SE11, all of the field attributes look

normal.

Anyone run into anything similar to this? This may be more of a Basis

question, though.

Thanks alot,

robert.

Have you checked if it has something to do with Unicode or code page?

i'm suspicious that it does have something to do with Unicode - but when we implemented last year, all of our boxes were converted to Unicode compliant.
