FM UMC_CALDAY_TO_FISCPER

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am a BI user, I have copied FM UMC_CALDAY_TO_FISCPER to Z version( reason for copy is the FM is not exixting in BI system) and activated and executed. I am running into shortdump.

below is the short dump details:

An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.

The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE', was

not caught in

procedure "ZUMC_CALDAY_TO_FISCPER" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a

RAISING clause.

Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the

exception would occur, the current program is terminated.

The reason for the exception is:

The call to the function module "DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT" is incorrect:

The function module interface allows you to specify only

fields of a particular type under "I_PERIV".

The field "I_PERIV" specified here is a different

field type

Do i need to include DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT funciton module in custom funtion group. Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Reddy.

Hi Reddy,

Make a ZFUGR rather than cloning this function module. Try and let me know.

Thanks,

if you can copy the FM , you need to copy whole Function group UMC_TIME_CHARACTERISTICS....

copy the function group UMC_TIME_CHARACTERISTICS also with your FM

I have cross checked and the FM UMC_CALDAY_TO_FISCPER exists iin BI (BI 7)

Could you rechek at your end and revert ?

Copying the entire FUGR may not be the ideal solution to your problem.

use try and catch to find out what's the exact error

probably the DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT function module, where the parameters has not been properly declared..

Check it and give the exact error what you are getting

[Former Member]

It suggests DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT is already existing in BI system.

Please check the field type of I_PERIV in DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT and make the changes accordingly in ur z-FM

Hi,

it seems that you pass a wrong parameter to I_PERIV already when calling ZUMC... I tried myself to copy the function and I used as test values: '02' for I_PERIV and '20080101' and I don@t receive the short dump you mentioned.

Also be sure that your copied function is activated.

Hopefully my answer helps you,
