Packed field contains incorrect BCD format. : HELP!!

HI All ,
I have a Business Connector Error message which I am not able to resolve. When I try to pass test data to SAP from BC using "Run" function I get the following message "Packed field contains incorrect BCD format"
I know this message is related to the amount fields : I am calling a SAP Bapi /POSDW/BAPI_POSTR_CREATE .
I have tried a lot of combinations of sending the amounts but I always get this message. The SALESAMOUNT field in SAP in the BAPI is DEC with length 28 and DEC as 9.
Pl advice how should the amount fields be formatted ? if possible with an example ,,say if my amount is 100.00 then what should I mention in the test run ??
I am really new to Business Connector hence any help will be greatly appreciated.....
Thanks and Regards

Daniel,
Try moving yout total to a charcater fields.
When loading data inti IT0008 ANSAL has to be type c otherwise the data doesn't load.
So once you have your total move to L_total and use this in your BDC.
Cheers
Julie

Error in outbound queue. Packed field contains incorrect BCD format

Hi,
Can anyone please help me with this.
In the outbound queue of CRM, the queues are stuck up in SYSFAIL state.
The error is ' Packed field contains incorrect BCD format.'
Can anyone suggest what this could mean?
Regards,
Pratima

Hi Pratima,
In the CRM Server, the structure has more fields than in the R/3 System. Fields BAPISDIT-TAX_AMOUNT, BAPISDIT-CR_EXCHRAT_V and BAPISDIT-EXCHRATEST_V have data type 'DEC' and do not exist in the R/3 System. During the initial download, the fields receive the value '020202...' and cause the termination "The packed field does not contain a correct BCD format" in function module CRM_SALESDOC_MAP_BAPI2MBDOC.
Use Transaction SE11 to add the following fields at the end of structure BAPISDIT in the R/3 System:

Special Characters in Packed Field After Upgradation from ECC 5 to ECC 6

Hi All,
After Upgraded from ECC 5 to ECC 6, we are getting error as 'Packed field contains incorrect BCD format'.
I found the error in below code..

i_rg23part2-i_part2_typ-CESS   = 0.<0
for some packed fields special characters are appearing, which leads to a short dump.
Any Suggestions.....

When opening .doc from website link, FF appends .docx extention to file & does not open in Word 2010, with incorrect file format error. Pls Help

I'm using Firefox v12 to open a hyperlink from a website that points to a filename.doc MS Word Document for download.
We are then asked to open the file with MS Word (Default), which our installed version is MS Word 2010.
Firefox then renames the file appending a .docx to the filename e.g filename.doc.docx. MS Word 2010 opens with error 'incorrect file format', which is correct as Firefox has renamed it.
Is there a fix or workaround for this?

Hello Jscher2000,
I can save the file and it opens fine.
It's when I open it directly, Firefox appends the 'docx' extenstion to the filename.
If I continue to reopen from the web link, Firefox renames the file as so
mydoc.doc-1.docx
mydoc.doc-2.docx
mydoc.doc-3.docx
I can open a .doc from a Microsoft site ok.
I have the feeling it's the way the web server is reporting the mime type to Firefox.
The link in question works fine in Internet Explorer.
best regards,
Youngielinux.

Fields containing Record terminators

Hi Oracle forums,
     I am trying to load a csv file into an Oracle 11gR2 database, and am having troubles with some fields that are spread over multiple 'lines'. i.e. some fields contain the record terminator.
     The data files are ordinary CSV files, with fields seperated by commas (,) and enclosed by double quotes("). The files originated from Windows boxes, and vi tells me they are [dos] files, implying the records are terminated with the standard windows CR/NL pair (\r\n).
     I have already tried a load using the Stream Record Format (infile 'example.dat' "str '\n'"), however this did not help.
     Shown below is a simplified example of the control file and data
     Does anybody know how I can load a csv file where some fields contain the record terminator?
load data
infile 'example.dat'
into table example
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
(col1 char(15),
col2 char(9))
example.dat:
"Field One","Field Two"
"Field Three","Field
Four"
"Field five", "Field Six"

Hi Srini,
     That has been almost perfect. Most fields that are spread over multiple lines are now loading.
     I now have a new problem, however.
     The new control file looks like this:
load data
infile 'example.dat'
continueif last <> '"'
into table example
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
(col1 char(22),
col2 char(9))     And I have discovered some multi-line fields similar to
example.dat:
"Field One","Field Two"
"Field Three","Field
Four"
"Field five", "Field Six"
"", "Field ""number""
eight"     The problem field appears to be a free text field, where users can enter comments on a particular event. On some occasions, the users have used quotes.
     Do you know how I can escape the double double-quotes, without affecting the null fields?
     Thanks heaps for you your help

This field contains duplicate values. Remove all duplicate values and try the operation again.

Greetings Everyone,
I am getting the follow up errors: "This field contains duplicate values. Remove all duplicate values and try the operation again."
when I tried to make the field "Claim Number" from the list in site collection library. See the screen below:
1- I selected on the "List" and I clicked on the list name
"Claim Tracking Report"
2- After I clicked on the list name then I went to the ribbon and selected list setting to choose Enforce Unique for the Field Column
"Claim Number"
3- Then I went down and selected
"Yes" to Enforced the Unique for the Field Column "Claim Number".
4- Then after I clicked "Yes" I got the error
"Sorry, something went wrong. This field contains duplicate values. Remove all duplicate values and try the operation again." But I don't have any duplicates values Items, because I had them removed before I tried
to Enforce the field column values to Unique. Can someone help or provide me a suggestions on how I can solve this issue please. Thank you
FYI: I am using a Nintex Workflow

Hope this is a list, how many total items are there?
Please try to open this list as access(link in IE) and run this query in access
SELECT Claim.[Claim Number], Count(*) AS Expr1
FROM Claim
GROUP BY Claim.[Claim Number]
HAVING (((Count(*))>1));
Hope it will show something! if this does not show you dups then better to create a separate list and migrate items after configuring unique column.

How to set a field as mandatory when another field contains specific values

Hi SAP Experts,
Is it possible to set the Plant Specific Material Status field as mandatory when the DChain-spec. status field contains a specific set of values? Thanks.
Regards,
Kim Yong

Hi Kim,
I think you can achieve this using the validation tab in the field.Add a new rule for validation select the condition as test and in the value you have use formula according to your senario.Select the 'Stop execution'.This will make the field mandatory.
I hope this helps...

SQL LOADER - fields containing CRs

I am using SQL loader for uploading some data extracted from another database. data contains one field that has 'Carriage Return' characters. when sql loader reads this character it treats it as beginning of another record. This results in load errors.
Can anybody suggest a way to handle the fields containing Carriage Returns ?
Thanks much.

Hello,
You can load the data as in a stg table and the move from stg table to regular table concatenating both call_temp and call_date column together.
load data
infile 'Cell_Phones.dbo.Account_Details.dat' "str '<EORD>'"
into table MD_CELLPHONE.Account_Details_stg
fields terminated by '<EOFD>'
trailing nullcols
Account_Number ,
Phone_Number ,
Call_temp,
Call_Date
Convert to right date format
Insert into account_details (col1 , col2, col3, ...) select val1 , val2 , to_date ( val3 || ' ' || val4) ...
from account_details_stg;
Regards

The page contains multiple canonical formats.

hi i am using WebMatrix seo to check my site, it has giving me 2 errors,
The page contains multiple canonical formats.
The page with URL "http://www.petland.ie/" can also be accessed by using URL "http://www.petland.ie/index.html".
Search engines identify unique pages by using URLs. When a single page can be accessed by using any one of multiple URLs, a search engine assumes that there are multiple unique pages. Use a single URL to reference a page to prevent dilution of page relevance. You can prevent dilution by following a standard URL format.
need some help with this, can some explain to me.

Error : Form ZFi************* has incorrect page format

Hi guys,
Script: my requirement is to copy standard form and stanadrad prog to zprog and zform. and i want to add extra fields in form. for achiving i changed page format DINA4 Portrait to LETTER Landscape. i developed these things. it working fine in this server ( provided test data in this server).
now problem is they provided data in Test client in diffrent server. for testing purpose i download script by using RSTXSCRP progam and uploaded and i copied porgram also. but when i run the transaction in test client, giving error : error is Form zfi*** has incorrect page format.
please do the needful.
Thanks in Advance,
Raj.

I would check in SE71 to make sure the correct SAPscript layout is there and active.
You can check transaction SPAD. Be sure the LETTER in LANDSCAPE mode is supported for the specific device type assigned to the target printer in the test system.
As a last resort, you can purge the buffer for loaded layout sets with program RSTXDELL.

Invalid text value. A text field contains invalid data. Check the value and try again

Hello,
I am having a problem with the error mentioned in the title. I see alot of others have experienced the same problem, but I have quite a twist to it.
I see the problem when I try to edit a list item, and then try to save the changes.
Here what I see in the ULS log:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Invalid text value. A text field contains invalid data. Check the value and try again
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequestInternalClass.AddOrUpdateItem(String bstrUrl, String bstrListName, Boolean bAdd, Boolean bSystemUpdate, Boolean bPreserveItemVersion, Boolean bUpdateNoVersion, Int32& plID, String& pbstrGuid, Guid pbstrNewDocId,
Boolean bHasNewDocId, String bstrVersion, Object& pvarAttachmentNames, Object& pvarAttachmentContents, Object& pvarProperties, Boolean bCheckOut, Boolean bCheckin, Boolean bMigration, Boolean bPublish, String bstrFileName, ISP2DSafeArrayWriter

ISP2DSafeArrayWriter pRestrictInsertCallback, ISP2DSafeArrayWriter pUniqueFieldCallback)
I have 3 front end servers(fx wfe1, wfe2, wfe3). And here is the twist.
If I access the library directly through wfe1 and wfe2, I get the error. If I access the library via wfe3 if works just fine.
So because of this, I think it is safe to assume that is has nothing to do with the character limit of 255. Nor does it have anything to do with the field type, since it is already set to mulitible lines of text.
So. Any ideas?
Regards,
Michael

Check if there is any change in web.config of these servers
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2880758
To work around this issue, limit the length of the personal message in the invitation to 256 characters or less.
This is a known issue. Microsoft is working to resolve this issue.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7bb16e51-e7cc-439e-a8b3-755683ccac1a/max-length-on-custom-field-types
To solve the problem you may have to change the field's parent type to "note". To do that you have to open your fldtypes... file under Templates/xml and change the line to:
"<Field Name="ParentType">Note</Field>" from "<Field Name="ParentType">Text</Field>"
You might also have to add a sql type if your text needs to be longer than 255 characters
<Field Name=”SQLType”>ntext</Field>
and inherit from SPFieldMultiLineText instead of SPFieldText
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Incorrect XML format for outbound binding

Hi,
I am in the process of configuring a scenario where we are sending PO's from SRM to XI in XML format and later we want these PO's in XML format to be sent to a vendor. I am able to send the XML from SRM to XI, but I get the following error message (probably while sending the XML to the external application):

But without the IDOC-channel I become this error message:
