Error  ' unable to interpret "*601" as number ' when using  CONVERT_OTF

Hi All ,
I am converting a Smartform to PDF in 4.7 version and I am getting an error like "  unable to interpret "*601" as number ' in Convert_otf function module here the importing parameter BIN_FILESIZE is getting *601 value in back ground of FM . Can any one help me in solving this error . Did i miss any parameter's .
Thanks and Regards

Hi.
The asterisk can appear when field length inconsistency takes place at value assignment between two variables.
Example:
DATA:
  p_amount TYPE c length 15,
  l_amount TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
WRITE: l_amount CURRENCY l_waers TO p_amount.
If value of L_AMOUNT equal '103276149119,40-', then value of P_AMOUNT will be equal '*3276149119,40-' (asterisk appears).
Best regards,
George Shlyahov.

  • Error: Unable to interpret / as a number

    We have an R/3 Infoset that is used as a source for some Crystal Report queries -- basically it is pulling some revenue recognition data from GLPCA and pairing it with supporting tables such as billing documents, orders, customer, material, etc.  This has been available in Production for a few months, but recently a user has started encountering the following messages at runtime:
    Crystal Reports
    Failed to retrieve data from the database.
    Database Connector Error: 'Unable to interpret / as a number.'
    Database Connector Error: 'RFC_INVALID_HANDLE'
    So we were able to even track down the error to one specific billing document and can recreate the error when selecting only the one document number.  The report errors whenever it pulls that data and if a certain amount field is brought in to the listing.  Looking at the underlying data through an SQL query, we don't see a problem with the data and have been unable to figure out why only certain records are causing this short dump.  The abend info in ST22 shows it is related to a CONVT_NO_NUMBER runtime error in ABAP program /CRYSTAL/SAPLFLAT - procedure /CRYSTAL/BUILD_STRING.  Looking through the details did not uncover much information that would point to the problem.
    Has anyone encountered this type of problem with Crystal integration to SAP data? Any suggestions on troubleshooting or identifying the problem would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    would suggest you open a case with support and provide the details on the steps so that the support folks can directly look at your system.
    thanks

  • RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: Unable to interpret * as a number

    Hi,
    I facing a strange problem while executing a query in bex analyzer and WAD. When I open a query it is throwing error as 'Unable to interpret * as a number'. I am getting this error before the pop-up menu itself. But all other reports are working fine. Please guide me to solve this issue.

    hi Githen Ronney  ,
    Is that query Standard OR customized one.
    If it is standard once check the SAP-EXIT variables.

  • Error 1030723 Unable to get UTF-8 locale when using Essbase API 11.1.1

    Now I got a question about how to connect to an Essbase Server by using essbase client API (11.1.1). I encountered an error “Unable to get UTF-8 locale” when I tried to EssInit((pInitStruct, phInstance) API.
    However, I had no problem to call the API if I uses essbase previous client APIs (7.1 or 9.3).
    I passed the “ESS_API_UTF8” to usApiType field in the ESS_INIT_T struct. When I openned the “essapi.h” header file, I found these are some new fields (highlighted in red color below) added in the essbase client API (11.1.1)

    } ESS_TSA_END(ESS_INIT_T);
    I could not find any document to introduce the API (11.1.1. And what does the error “Unable to get UTF-8 locale” mean? How can work around it. Any environment parameters or paths need to be set?
    Please advise.

    Hi,
    The API documentation for V11 is available from :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_apiref/frameset.htm?launch.htm
    Hopefully it might point you in the right direction.

    Does anyone know the root cause of it? We are facing the same issue.

    Thanks in advance.

  • TRFC Queue Error "Unable to interpret BGUA as a number"

    Hi all,
    I am getting the below error message in TRFC queue
    "Unable to interpret BGUA as a number" when i do a datamart dataload from ODS to Cube. ODS is getting data from datasource 0CO_OM_CCA_9. Can anyone help how to resolve this issue?.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Muruganand. K

    What is  BGUA ??
    I think you have mapped this field (BGUA holding infoobject) to number or key figure field.
    Check your  mapping in transformation form ODS to CUBE.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error Unable to interpret C00 as a number while doing intial download

    Hi Guys
    When I am doing the initial download of DNL_CUST_CNDALL the following error has occurred in the Inbound Queue of CRM “Unable to interpret C00 as a number Message no. SR053”
    Can anybody suggest me how to over come?
    Thanks

    Here is the solution. (SAP Note 1042818 pointed me in the right direction...even though I'm not working with CRM.)
    CONVERT_OTF export parameter BIN_FILESIZE has no type and is pass by value.  You must code this parameter into your importing parameters in the calling program even if you don't use it.  The receiving variable should be of type integer.

      CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
        EXPORTING
          FORMAT                      = 'PDF'
        IMPORTING
          BIN_FILESIZE                = BIN_FILESIZE

  • Error "Unable to interpret '\' as number" whe run a BDC for integer data

    Dear All,
    I am trying for the BDC of the user define table and have to upload data but the system is giving error for the field whose domain i have made as QUAN Error is : "Unable to interpret '\' as number".
    Please clarify the situation and solution for the problem
    Regards,

    Hi Vishal,
    Check whether '\' is getting populated in any of the field on the screen in which it is giving an error. I think it is not because of your QUAN field. The error may be in some other field on the same screen.

  • ABAP DF Unable to interpret as a number

    I have a very simply ABAP data flow which joins SAP tables PA0001 and T528T together using PLANS.  If I use PA0001.PLANS in my output schema I receive the following error message:
    "RFC CallReceive error <Function Z_AW_ABAP_RUN: RFC_ABAP_MESSAGE- Unable to interpret 0    0.00 as a number."
    If I select T528T.PLANS in the output schema it works fine, but I have no idea what is causing this error message.

    Hi Tom,   If the error si correcto, it seems to be a string trying to be saved on a integer field. Change the target data type or validate it before be loaded. I amnot sure if the error is "0    0.00 " >string or "0.00 " >number,but not a integer. Regards.

  • Invalid Serial Number when using Customization Wizard to install Acrobat 8

    Hello. I'm trying to install Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional using the Customization Wizard to create a transform. The serial number is for the volume license product, and I put this number in the space provided in the Wizard. Whenever I remotely deploy the msi file and the user opens the program, I get the following error: "You have entered an invalid serial number. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and enter in a valid serial number when asked." The program then closes. This does not happen when I install from the CD.
    Each of the workstations is a Gateway E-4500S running Windows XP SP2. Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional is uninstalled prior to installation of Acrobat 8, and Acrobat 8 exists alongside Adobe Reader 8.1.1. No other Adobe products are installed apart from Flash Player.
    The following are the contents of the setup.ini file:
    [Startup]

    I've tried editing the setup.ini file to indicate the full path to the mst file, to no avail. Pretty much at the end of my rope right now. Any suggestions? I'll be happy to provide further information.

    Chris Benton - 4:40am Jan 29, 08 PST (#2 of 2)
    Correct. The CD installation goes without a hitch. I'm using Attachmate WinInstall to try to deploy the software remotely. It worked fine for Adobe Reader 8.1.1, but it's been a bear for Acrobat 8. I'd be okay with a straight CD installation if it didn't involve fifty machines.

  • Unable to insert date and time when using date datatype

    Hi
    I am hitting a bit of a problem when using the date datatype. When trying to save a row to the table where the field it throws an error ora 01830 and complains about converting the date format picture ends...etc. Now when I do the insert, I use the to_date function with the format of "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss". Of course, when I remove the time element, everything is perfect.
    Checking sysdate, I noticed that the time element wasn't be displayed, and I used alter session set nls_date_format to set the date and time I want to save to the table, which worked!
    Then based on advice in a previous thread to permanently fix the problem, I used alter system set nls_date_format ="dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss" scope=spfile; This showed that it was altered, and I can see the setting in the em. In sqlplus, I shutdown the database, and restarted with startup mount; alter database open; and then selecting sysdate, it still shows the date as dd-mon-yy, and still no time! Checking the em, and looking up the nls_date_format the setting is still shown as "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss".
    So, my question is this - what am I doing wrong? Why can't save date and time using date in Oracle 11g?????
    Thanks

    ThanksYou most certainly can save the time. A DATE column, by definition stores date and time. What you describe is a presentation problem, and setting nls_date_format at the system as an init parm is the weakest of all settings as it is overridden by several other locations.
    without seeing the exact sql that produced the error (not just your description of what you think you were doing) it is impossible to say for sure.
    However, I'd suggest you read http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/nls_date_format/

    when you call your STG access number, you are then causing a SkypeOut call to be launched on your behalf, which is why you need credit or a calling subscription
    it is possible to configure Skype so that your Skype Number is displayed on the destination phone when you make SkypeOut calls
