Short Dump - GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED - Flexible upload of RFD

Question

Hi,
SEM 6.0 / BI 7.0
When i try to do a Flexible upload for a sample RFD, i get the following dump:
Runtime Errors         GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED
Date and Time          11/25/2008 16:22:01
Short dump has not been completely stored (too big)
Short text
    Field symbol has not yet been assigned.
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "CL_UC_TASK_EXECUTION==========CP" had to be
     terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
    You attempted to access an unassigned field symbol
    (data segment 32776).
    This error may occur if
    - You address a typed field symbol before it has been set with
      ASSIGN
    - You address a field symbol that pointed to the line of an
      internal table that was deleted
    - You address a field symbol that was previously reset using
      UNASSIGN or that pointed to a local field that no
      longer exists
    - You address a global function interface, although the
      respective function module is not active - that is, is
      not in the list of active calls. The list of active calls
      can be taken from this short dump.
Trigger Location of Runtime Error
    Program                               CL_UC_TASK_EXECUTION==========CP
    Include                                 CL_UC_TASK_EXECUTION==========CM02V
    Row                                     155
    Module type                          (METHOD)

Flexible upload - Delete all / Cumulative
Has anyone encountered this type of dump before?
My Observation
(Data Rows contain the following columns - Item / Company / Trading partner / PV LC)
When i give a trading partner which is not defined in the system, the system is interpreting the header row & data rows. Also, it gives an error message for each row.
But,
When i give a trading partner which is defined in the system, or when i remove the trading partner column in total, it throws the above short dump.
The breakdown category defined in the system are Trading partner & Movement type.
Both, have the breakdown type 1. (optional breakdown, initialized value allowed).
Pls note that after several permutations & combinations - to trace the error, i have removed all the columns & kept the minimum required (Item / Company / Trading partner / PV LC).
Appreciate your comments / inputs.
Thanks!

Hi Kumar,
The note refers to FINBASIS 300 release.
In the present system we have, it is FINBASIS 600.
I raised an OSS message.
Anyway, implementation of the note helped me with all releases.
But, first of all, I mentioned another remedy that you may see here:
SPRO: SEM/Business Analytics -> Fin. Basis -> Master Data Framework -> System Settings -> Profile Parameter Setting.
It's about setting parameter for ABAP shared memory on the server. If you do not set this parameter to 200-300 MB, you constantly will have the errors like I mentioned while trying to save master data. Did you read my previous message carefully and look at this hint?
In case of breakdown type 1 - the upload should happen - if we dont specify any values for the breakdown category. Pls confirm.
- Confirmation. The system will accept any value, including null.
Is it true that we cannot load RFD data (with both movement type & trading partner information), in one go? If yes, what is the reason behind it.
- No confirmation. Where is it from? I always do such a load.
