Hi Rob,

-> The message 'R8 569 ('The exact-number-of-places of the DEC field

XXX can cause problems') serves as a Warning message and not an

Error message, and can therefore be ignored.

The detail explanation of the message is given below:

-> You want to use the field &v1& in the extract structure of the

ataSource &v2&. This field occupies a field of typ 'DEC' with

an even number of decimal places. This can lead to problems,

since the length caused by calculations in ABAP (for example, for

extraction in extractors or customer exits) becomes too great

for insertion into the database (PSA in BW) later on.

If you are not sure whether the length has been exceeded, check the

DataSource where you can execute a test extraction with realistic

data.

Regards,

Srikanth

Hi Rob,

I think it is just a warning. See the activation status of the data source.

To avoid this warning define MABW with odd number length.
