"Settings for material number conversion not found" occurs when ...

Question

After I run an initial load data into the InfoCube 0PUR_C01, I want to check the InfoCube Content by the following path:
RSA1 -> pick up the InfoCube 0PUR_C01, right click it and select Manage -> Get to Content tab -> Click InfoCube Content button -> Deselect all selection, only tick the 1st column checkbox next to 0Material, then hit enter, get a small window titled as "Cancel" with a red STOP msg sysing "Settings for material number conversion not found" with an "Exit" button and a question mark button, click Exit button leads to SAP Easy Access screen, if clicking the question mark button, another window pops up with the msg showed above, click Technical Information button causes the original window short dump and the short dump msg shows below in between two dashed lines:

ShrtText
    Statement "CALL SCREEN" is not allowed in this form.
What happened?
    Error in ABAP application program.
    The current ABAP program "SAPLSHL2" had to be terminated because on
    statements could not be executed.
    This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
Error analysis
    There is probably an error in the program
    "SAPLSHL2".
    The program was probably called in a conversion exit
    or in a field exit. These are implemented by
    function modules called CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT/OUTPUT or
    USER_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT.
    Conversion exits are triggered during screen field transports or
    WRITE statements, field exits during field transports from the
    screen to the ABAP/4 program.
    In this connection, the following ABAP/4 statements are not allowed:
    -  CALL SCREEN
    -  CALL DIALOG
    -  CALL TRANSACTION
    -  SUBMIT
    -  MESSAGE W... and MESSAGE I...
    -  COMMIT WORK, ROLLBACK WORK
    -  COMMUNICATION RECEIVE
    -  STOP
    -  REJECT
    -  EXIT FROM STEP-LOOP
    Moreover, conversion exits for output conversion
    (implemented by function modules called
    CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT) do not allow
    -  MESSAGE E...
    to be used.

What could cause the problem by selecting only 0Material when checking the InfoCube 0PUR_C01 content?  What does that mean by this STOP msg "Settings for material number conversion not found"?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
Set the length of 0MATERIAL and change conversion to alpha:
