System Error: ASSIGN_CAST_WRONG_LENGTH

[Former Member]

Hello All,

While displaying an asset I have encoutered the below dump:

-

---

Error analysis

In the current program "SAPLSDSD", the ASSIGN ... TYPE ... statement

used to assign the type "D" to the field symbol "<%_1_SYSINI>". The l

defined for this type is 16, but the reference field is 8 characters

long. The type to be assigned is in the field "S_DESCR-INTTYPE".

How to correct the error

ABAP/4 type D fields must be 8 characters long, type T fields 6

characters, type I fields 4 characters, and type F fields 8 character

If the error occurred in one of your own programs or in an SAP progra

that you modified, try to correct it yourself.

However other user do not.

How could be this possible that the dump is exprecienced by some users and some users do not.

Kindly help.

Thanks in Advance,

I was same problem in a S/4Hana 2020 SPS3.

This happen just to 1 user after conversion.

This system was first converted from NUC to Unicode and then converted to S/4.

I have solved it running the report UMG_F4_CLEANUP.

Hello Ravi,

actually we found a note to delete entries in table DDSHPVAL50 to resolve the issue. This is working. However would this mean that everytime a user experience the error we have to delete entries in table DDSHPVAL50?

what would you suggest?

Thanks in advance,
