CONVERSION_EXIT_TSTRG_OUTPUT problem.

Dear All,
I have written a function module for changing the schedule line dates for a Sales Order using BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE. I have added this FM to a Standard Task which will be triggerred on tcode VA02 (Change SO). 
When I execute the FM, it works fine and the sales order is getting updated.
But when I update the SO using VA02, the FM is triggered by the Standard Task, but stops at some point in the code and comes out. So the SO is not updated.
I have found out that the execution stops at a conversion exit CONVERSION_EXIT_TSTRG_OUTPUT.
If i comment out the conv exit, the exec stops at the next FM i.e  'DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE'.
I've pasted my code below.
Pls Help.
reg,
Jinson

Hello Jinson
I have three suggestions and recommendations that you might try:
  CHECK lv_vkorg = '0080'.  " Why not blocking processing in the first place?
  SELECT SINGLE vkorg INTO lv_vkorg
    FROM vbak WHERE vbeln = vbeln.
  "CHECK lv_vkorg = '0080'.
                 CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_TSTRG_OUTPUT'
                  EXPORTING
                    input  = wa_t630r-pipatg
                  IMPORTING
                    output = ld_pipatg.  " wa_t630r-pipatg.
     wa_t630r-pipatg = ld_pipatg.  " I prefer to use a different field for the import
Regarding the second fm that fails I would try to run it in SE37 using the values you see in the debugger.
Regards
  Uwe

    What happened?                                                                    
        Error in the ABAP Application Program                                                                               
    The current ABAP program "Z_CREATE_ORDER_WITH_JOB_VRNT" had to be terminated  
         because it has                                                               
        come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.                                                                               
    The error occurred during an RFC call to another system.                      
        In the target system, a short dump has been written as well.                  
        More detailed information on the error cause can be found there.                                                                               
    Error analysis                                                                    
        An error occurred when executing a REMOTE FUNCTION CALL.                      
        It was logged under the name "CONVT_NO_NUMBER"                                
        on the called page.                                                                               
    We are not using 2,00 anymore...it is something changed format while compiling..
    It cause dump in R3  also..dump desc in r3 as follows

    What happened?                                                                               
    Error in ABAP application program.                                                                               
    The current ABAP program "SAPLSTS4" had to be terminated because one of the
    statements could not be executed.                                                                               
    This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.                                                                               
    Error analysis                                                                               
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail bel
    . The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER
    was neither                                                         
    caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure     
    "CONVERSION_EXIT_TSTRG_OUTPUT" "(FUNCTION)"                         
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this excepti
    to occur, the running program was terminated.                       
    The reason for the exception is:                                     
    The program attempted to interpret the value " 2,00" as a number, but
    since the value contravenes the rules for correct number formats,    
    this was not possible.                                                                               
    How to correct the error                                                                               
    The exception must either be prevented, caught within the procedure  
    "CONVERSION_EXIT_TSTRG_OUTPUT"                                      
    "(FUNCTION)", or declared in the procedure's RAISING clause.         
    To prevent the exception, note the following:                        
    Integers are represented in ABAP using a sequence of digits and, in so
    cases, a preceding sign.                                            
    The system offers the following options for displaying floating point
    numbers:                                                             
      [sign][mantissa]E[sign][exponent]                                  
      [sign][whole number part].[fractional part]                        
    e.g. -12E+34, +12E-34, 12E34, 12.34                                                                               
    If the error occurred in one of your own programs or in an SAP program          
    that you modified, try to correct it yourself.                                                                               
    You may able to find an interim solution to the problem                         
    in the SAP note system. If you have access to the note system yourself,         
    use the following search criteria:                                                                               
    "CONVT_NO_NUMBER" CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBERC                                   
    "SAPLSTS4" or "LSTS4U01"                                                        
    "CONVERSION_EXIT_TSTRG_OUTPUT"                                                  
    Please help me to solve ths problem as soon as possible..
    thanks in advance for you quick response.

  • A problem with threads

    I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
    Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
    My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
    Thank you in advance,
    Lefty

    This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
    public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
         boolean active = true;          
         public void run(){
              ss.setSoTimeout(90);               
              while (active){                   
                   try{                       
                        serverSocket = ss.accept();
                   catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
                   // do nothing                   
         // interrupt thread           
         public void deactivate(){               
              active = false;
              // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the               
              // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.               
              try{
                   sleep(91);               
              }catch (InterruptedException ie){            
              interrupt();
    }

  • A problem with Threads and MMapi

    You can also try to provide a greater Priority to your player thread so that it gains the CPU time when ever it needs it and don't harm the playback.
    However a loop in a Thread and that to an infinite loop is one kind of very bad programming, 'cuz the loop eats up most of your CPU time which in turn adds up more delays of the execution of other tasks (just as in your case it is the playback). By witting codes bit efficiently and planning out the architectural execution flow of the app before start writing the code helps solve these kind of issues.
    You can go through [this simple tutorial|http://oreilly.com/catalog/expjava/excerpt/index.html] about Basics of Java and Threads to know more about threads.

    N.B. And yes there are more articles and tutorials available but much of them targets the Java SE / EE, but if you want to read them here is [another great one straight from SUN|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/index.html] .

  • J2ME problem with threads

    Hi all,
    I would like to ask you for a help. I need to write a small program at my university. I started to write a midlet which function would be to countdown time for sports activities. I woul like to start a new thread - the one that counts down - and at the same time make the main thread sleep. After the "countdown" thread finishes, the main thread wakes up and waits for user input. The problem is that when the "countdown" thread finishes his work, I've got Uncaught exception java/lang/NullPointerException. error and the midlet halts.

    Groovemaker,
    Your Licznik class has a member m of type monitor, which has not been instantiated (in other words is null) hence, when calling m.put() you get NullPointerException. Please also mind, that using Thread.sleep(1000) is not an accurate way of measuring time.
    If I may, please use recommended for Java class naming conventions - some of your names use lower case, while other don't which is confusing to the reader.

  • Problem with threads within applet

    Hello,
    I got an applet, inside this applet I have a singleton, inside this singleton I have a thread.
    this thread is running in endless loop.
    he is doing something and go to sleep on and on.
    the problem is,
    when I refresh my IE6 browser I see more than 1 thread.
    for debug matter, I did the following things:
    inside the thread, sysout every time he goes to sleep.
    sysout in the singleton constructor.
    sysout in the singleton destructor.
    the output goes like this:
    when refresh the page, the singleton constructor loading but not every refresh, sometimes I see the constructor output and sometimes I dont.
    The thread inside the singleton is giving me the same output, sometime I see more than one thread at a time and sometimes I dont.
    The destructor never works (no output there).
    I don't understand what is going on.
    someone can please shed some light?
    thanks.
    btw. I am working with JRE 1.1
    this is very old and big applet and I can't convert it to something new.

    Ooops. sorry!
    I did.

  • Problem with Threads and a static variable

    I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
    Code functionality:
    A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
    The problem as far I understand is:
    Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
    Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
    Thanks,
    B.D.
    Code:
    private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
    private static Thread objMainProcess;
       protected static void Init(){
            objMainProcess = new Thread() {
                public void run() {
                    while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                       GetState();
            objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
            objMainProcess.start();
        public static void initStatusTimer(){
            if(objTimer == null)
                 objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                              SetState();
        private static void SetState(){
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                bChanged = true;
                try{
                    objMainProcess.notify();
                }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
        private static boolean GetState() {
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                if( bChanged) {
                    SendMessage();
                    bChanged = false;
                    return true;
                try {
                    objMainProcess.wait();
                }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
                return false;
        }

    Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
    Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
    The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
    Thanks,
    B.D.

  • Problem with threads running javaw

    Hi,
    Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
    troy.

    troy,
    Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
    does not work.
    When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
    error and standard output streams to file.

  • Problem with Threads and "plase wait..."-Window

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem that I'm not able to solve in any way... I have a time-consuming task (a file decryption) which I execute in a separate thread; I've used the SwingWorker class, like suggested by sun-tutorial, and it works right. The problem is that I have to wait that the decryption have finished before continuing with program-execution. Therefore I would like to display a "please wait"-window while the task runs. I've tryed all the possible ways I know but the problem is always the same: the waitWindow is displayed empty, the bounds are painted but the contents no; it's only painted when the decrypt-task has finished. Please help me, I have no more resources....
    decrypt-file code:
    public class DecryptFile {
      private String cryptedFileNameAndPath;
      private ByteArrayInputStream resultStream = null;
      // need for progress
      private int lengthOfTask;
      private int current = -1;
      private String statMessage;
      public DecryptFile(String encZipFileNameAndPath) {
        cryptedFileNameAndPath = encZipFileNameAndPath;
        //Compute length of task...
        // 0 for indeterminate
        lengthOfTask = 0;
      public ByteArrayInputStream getDecryptedInputStream() {
        return this.resultStream;
       * Called from ProgressBarDemo to start the task.
      public void go() {
        current = -1;
        final SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {
          public Object construct() {
            return new ActualTask();
        worker.start();
       * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much work needs
       * to be done.
      public int getLengthOfTask() {
        return lengthOfTask;
       * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much has been done.
      public int getCurrent() {
        return current;
      public void stop() {
        current = lengthOfTask;
       * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out if the task has completed.
      public boolean done() {
        if (current >= lengthOfTask)
          return true;
        else
          return false;
      public String getMessage() {
        return statMessage;
       * The actual long running task.  This runs in a SwingWorker thread.
      class ActualTask {
        ActualTask () {
          current = -1;
          statMessage = "";
          resultStream = AIUtil.getInputStreamFromEncZip(cryptedFileNameAndPath); //here the decryption happens
          current = 0;
          statMessage = "";
      }The code that calls decryption and displays waitWindow
          final WaitSplash wS = new WaitSplash("Please wait...");
          final DecryptFile cryptedTemplate = new DecryptFile (this.templateFile);
          cryptedTemplate.go();
          while (! cryptedTemplate.done()) {
            try {
              wait();
            } catch (Exception e) { }
          this.templateInputStream = cryptedTemplate.getDecryptedInputStream();
          wS.close();Thanks, thanks, thanks in advance!

    Maybe you can try setting the priority of the long-running thread to be lower? so that the UI will be more responsive...

  • Problem with threads in j2me

    im using jdk 1.6 with java wtk 2.1
    ya i know..
    2.1 is a jdk1.4 source
    but im using souce as 1.4 during compiliation so thats not the prob
    this is my code

    its just supposed to pause between the alerts using threads

    please can someone help me out with this, is it an error on my part or do i have to set some option.

    Hi gandalf123,
    First, Thread.sleep is a static method, so you don't need to create a Thread object to use it.
    I think the problem is due to the fact you don't preverify your midlet.
    More over, you don't need to double post your question.

  • Problem with threads and camera.

    Hi everybody!
    I've a problem with taking snapshot.
    I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
    have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
    I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
    I made this code:
    display.setCurrent(perform);               
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {               
                    while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
                        Thread.yield();
                    notifyAll();
            }).start();
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        this.wait();                   
                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        exceptionHandler(e);
                    photo = camera.snapshot();                               
                    display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
            }).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
    I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
    Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?

    Hi,
    I've finally managed to work this fine.
    The code:
           Object o = new Object();
           display.setCurrent(perform);               
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {               
                    while(!performing.isShown()){
                        Thread.yield();
                   synchronized(o) {
                      o.notify();
            }).start();
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        synchronized(o) {
                           o.wait(1);
                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        exceptionHandler(e);
                    photo = camera.snapshot();                               
                    display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
            }).start();

  • Problem with threads and graphics

    I have a thread that chooses paths for a Travelling salesman problem, it then calls a TSPdraw class and passes it the path, which the class then draws. the problem is when i have two threads it creates two windows but only draws a path in one of them. any ideas where i`m going wrong

    Are you using swing components? Swing isn't threadsafe. If you have multiple threads that want to update your UI you need to use the SwingUtilities.invokeLater(...)or invokeAndWait(...). There is a page in the swing tutorial about this at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/threads.html

  • Problem with threads hanging

    We have a problem where our application stops responding after a few days of usage. Things will for fine for a day or two, and then pretty quickly threads will start getting hung up, usually in places where they are allocating memory
    We are running WebLogic 8.1 SP2 on Sun JDK 1.4.2_04 on Solaris 8 using the alternate threading model and the -server hotspot vm. We are running pretty much the same code that we had no problems with under WebLogic 6.1 SP4 and Sun JDK 1.3.1.
    A thread dump usually shows that some or all of our execute threads are in the state "waiting for monitor entry" even though they are not currently waiting on any java locks. Here is a sample thread from the thread dump (we have ~120 threads so I don't want to post the full dump).

    String.java line 1446 for this jdk allocates a new String object, and all the other threads in this state also are creating new objects or arrays, etc.
    We've done a pstack on this process when it's in this state, and the threads that are in the "waiting for monitor entry" that look like they're allocating memory are all waiting on the same lwp_mutex_lock with some allocation method that's calling into the native TwoGenerationCollectorPolicy.mem_allocate_work (see pstack output below for the same thread as in the thread dump above)

    Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm trying to figure out if this is caused by something we're doing, or something relating to our environment and jvm options. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply - I'm testing our app with the +UseConcMarkSweepGC now in our test environment to make sure it doesn't cause any problems there.  Unfortunately the only place we've had this problem is on the production server, so it's extra difficult debugging this. 
    We're using the following memory options:
    -ms512m -mx512m -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:PermSize=192m -XX:MaxNewSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:SurvivorRatio=8and the following debugging options, as we've also been seeing OutOfMemoryErrors ( see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=37&thread=522354&tstart=45&trange=15 )
    -verbosegc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGCBTW, which c++filt version and options are you using? Our Solaris boxes only seem to have the GNU version installed. I was trying to run that on some of the other stack traces and wasn't getting anywhere, and didn't know if because it was GNU version wouldn't work on something compiled with the Sun compiler.
    Thanks!

    I have a little problem with a thread and a ProgressMonitor. I have a long time process that runs in a thread (the thread is in an separate class). The thread has a ProgressMonitor that works fine and shows the tasks progress.
    But I need deactivate the main class(the main class is the user interface) until the thread ends.
    I use something like this:
    LongTask myTask=new LongTask();
    myTask.start();
    myTask.join();
    Now, the main class waits for the task to end, but the progress monitor don`t works fine: it shows only the dialog but not the progress bar.
    What's wrong?

    Is the dialog a modal dialog? This can block other UI updates.
    In general, you should make sure that it isn't modal, and that your workThread has a fairly low priority so that the UI can do its updating

  • Problem with threads in my swing application

    Hi,
    I have some problem in running my swing app. Thre problem is related to threads.
    What i am developing, is a gui framework where i can add different pluggable components to the framework.
    The framework is working fine, but when i press the close action then the gui should close down the present component which is active. The close action is of the framework and the component has the responsibility of checking if it's work is saved or not and hence to throw a message for saving the work, therefore, what i have done is that i call the close method for the component in a separate thread and from my main thread i call the join method for the component's thread.But after join the whole gui hangs.
    I think after the join method even the GUI thread , which is started for every gui, also waits for the component's thread to finish but the component thread can't finish because the gui thread is also waiting for the component to finish. This creates a deadlock situation.
    I dont know wht's happening it's purely my guess.
    One more thing. Why i am calling the component through a different thread, is because , if the component's work is not saved by the user then it must throw a message to save the work. If i continue this message throwing in my main thread only then the main thread doesnt wait for user press of the yes no or cancel button for saving the work . It immediately progresses to the next statement.
    Can anybody help me get out of this?

    For my original bad thread version, I have rewritten it mimicking javax.swing.Timer
    implementation, reducing average CPU usage to 2 - 3%.
    Will you try this:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.text.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class SamurayClockW{
      JFrame frame;
      Container con;
      ClockTextFieldW ctf;
      public SamurayClockW(){
        frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        con = frame.getContentPane();
        ctf = new ClockTextFieldW();
        con.add(ctf, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        frame.setBounds(100, 100, 300, 300);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        ctf.start();
      public static void main(String[] args){
        new SamurayClockW();
    class ClockTextFieldW extends JTextField implements Runnable{
      String clock;
      boolean running;
      public ClockTextFieldW(){
        setEditable(false);
        setHorizontalAlignment(RIGHT);
      public synchronized void start(){
        running = true;
        Thread t = new Thread(this);
        t.start();
      public synchronized void stop(){
        running = false;
      public synchronized void run(){
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
        try{
          while (running){
            clock = sdf.format(new Date());
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
              public void run(){
                setText(clock);
            try{
              wait(1000);
            catch (InterruptedException ie){
              ie.printStackTrace();
        catch (ThreadDeath td){
          running = false;
    }
