Dump in UM4_UPDATE_WORKLIST MESSAGE_TYPE_X in Method GET_SETTINGS

Question

Hi all,
I'm stuck in an unicode preparation, I get a dump at update Worklist in method GET_SETTINGS of Main program
Termination occurred in the ABAP program "CL_UMG_UTILITIES==============CP" -
  in "GET_SETTINGS".
The main program was "UM4_UPDATE_WORKLIST ".
In the source code you have the termination point in line 11
of the (Include) program "CL_UMG_UTILITIES==============CM00E".
The program "CL_UMG_UTILITIES==============CP" was started as a background job.
Job Name....... "UM4_PMIG_STOCK_UPDATE1"
none of the notes that I've found helped me, anyone with an clue?
the error is at:
   1 method get_settings.
   2
   3   data: l_settings_tab   type umgtsettings,
   4         l_num            type i.
   5
   6   select * from umgsettings
   7            into table l_settings_tab.
   8   if sy-subrc <> 0.
   9     if cl_abap_char_utilities=>charsize = 1.
  10 *     Non Unicode Systems
>>>>       message x069(pumg).   " short dump if settings were not found
  12     else.
  13 *     In Unicode Systems look in UMGHISTORY
  14       call method cl_umg_history=>get
  15         importing
  16           ex_new_spumg_settings = l_settings_tab.
  17       describe table l_settings_tab lines l_num.
  18       if l_num = 0.
  19         re_settings = cl_umg_utilities=>get_default_settings( ).
  20         return.
  21       endif.
  22     endif.
  23   endif.
In SPUMG I could not edit settings because language list is not defined, it is empty and even after restart and reset SPUMG it remains empty, in RSCPINSTall system languages are activated....
any idea is welcome..
best regards,

Hi Pedro,
do you get the entrance screen of SPUMG with the according push buttons (after executing Scanner > Restart) ?
In the Guide you will find:
The last pushbutton Continue with transaction SPUMG will trigger the automatical initialization of the Language List and lead to the Consistency Check screen.
After you have done that, the language list should be available.
Best regards,
Nils
