Hi guys,
Im getting an error while running the program. We are using this for years now, and recently we encountered error as "output field too short for converted value".
The current ABAP program had to be terminated because the ABAP processor detected an internal system error. The current ABAP program "SAPLALFA" had to be terminated because the ABAP processor detected and invalid system state.
When calling the conversion routine ALPHA the specified target field was too short.
The termination occured in the ABAP program "SAPLALFA" in "CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT".
The main program was ZFIR_WTAX2307.
The termination occurred in line 10 of the source code of the program "LALFAU01" of the source code of program "LALFAU01" (when calling the editor 100).
What does this mean? Please help me...
Thanks.
Below is the error analysis...

What can you do?
Make a note of the actions and input which caused the error.
To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
date.
Error analysis
When calling the conversion routine ALPHA, the specified
target field was too short.
How to correct the error
You may able to find an interim solution to the problem
in the SAP note system. If you have access to the note system yourself,
use the following search criteria:
-
"CONV_EXIT_FIELD_TOO_SHORT" C
"SAPLALFA" or "LALFAU01"
"CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT"
-
If you cannot solve the problem yourself and you wish to send
an error message to SAP, include the following documents:
1. A printout of the problem description (short dump)
To obtain this, select in the current display "System->List->
Save->Local File (unconverted)".
2. A suitable printout of the system log
To obtain this, call the system log through transaction SM21.
Limit the time interval to 10 minutes before and 5 minutes
after the short dump. In the display, then select the function
"System->List->Save->Local File (unconverted)".
3. If the programs are your own programs or modified SAP programs,
supply the source code.
To do this, select the Editor function "Further Utilities->
Upload/Download->Download".
4. Details regarding the conditions under which the error occurred
or which actions and input led to the error.

If u have define a new fields in ur program then check the length of this field, because output field length is to short to store coverted value through function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT.

We encountered this same error today. The problem wasn't that the output field was too short though that may have been a side effect. The actual problem was that the input to CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT was invalid.
I've pasted the relevant portion of the short dump we received below which I believe shows the input to and output from CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT. The invalid value is "TESTACCTMGR".
No. 9 Ty. FUNCTION
Name CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT
INPUT
TESTACCTMGR
0000000000000000
0000000000000000
5455444544522222
45341334D7200000
OUTPUT
0000000000
0000000000
2222222222
