Runtime Error CONV_EXIT_FIELD_TOO_SHORT in transaction ABUMN

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

we have an ECC EHP7 for SAP ERP 6.0 system (SAP_BASIS 7.40 SP05, SAP_APPL 617 SP3), and we are getting a dump while using standard transaction ABUMN, in particular when we select a matchcode naviagting in Multiple Assets->List of Assets and selecting the matchcode on field "SNo.". You can find the detail of dump we get in the attachment. dump: "CONV_EXIT_FIELD_TOO_SHORT" : The termination occurred in ABAP program "SAPLALFA", in "CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT". The main program was "SAPLAMDP".

We already searched through the OSS notes on SAP Support Portal, but we only find relevant note    1884269 - Understanding short dump CONV_EXIT_FIELD_TOO_SHORT   which unfortunately seems to refer to the same dump but in a custom Z report. It seems like there is no OSS note to implement in our system in order to correct the issue.

Can you please give us support for this dump? How can we overcome this runtime error?

Thanks for your precious help,

Marco

Hi.

It sounds that matchcode on structure ZM_AANLA, field   doesn't suite the correct lenght and routine conversion. Check it out.

Hope to help.

Hi Marco,

please implement OSS Note

1868365 - Dump CONV_EXIT_FIELD_TOO_SHORT in TA KB21N

It is a different Transaction that causes the dump but the reason is the same.
