CX_SY_CONVERSION_OVERFLOW ERROR WHILE LOADING PSA DATA

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to load data using a generic extractor in BW and it keeps dumping with a CONVT_OVERFLOW error and the exception is CX_SY_CONVERSION_OVERFLOW.

The short text description is 'Overflow when converting from 256'. As per the attached extract from the dumping extractor it appears there is an issue when the V_CNT1 variable is greater than 255 as SPLIT field is defined as  follows

DATA: BEGIN OF IT_DATA OCCURS 0,

..........

SPLIT TYPE CY_SPLIT

Does anyone has any suggestion on how to resolve this issue

Hi Eni,

Check the data type of both variables and also the length. If length is the problem then use offset function.

Thanks Shakthi & Laxmi,

For your responses, they were both bang on. As the offending SPLIT variable was only used in the dumping function module in  the ERP system, I finally resolved the issue by changing the Component type in the extract structure to INTEGER (data type INT4) and defined the SPLIT field on the internal table of the dumping program to TYPE 'I'.

Once again thanks for your suggestions.

Hi Eni,

it looks like you are using a character datatype and the character cannot take more than 250 length. the logic of split that which was applied might be moving the characters beyond the length 250.

Please paste the logic here to check that what exactly the code is doing.

Thanks
