Short Dump Error when we check the Data Source in RSA3

Question

Hi. Experts.
                   We are using  Data Source 2Lis_13_VDITM and when we try to check in RSA3
for recorts it is going short dump. I am just providing the error information.
              An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was
not caught in procedure "MCEX_BW_LO_API" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
clause.
               Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
When importing the object "MC13VD0ITM_TAB", the component no. 96 in the dataset has a different type from the corresponding component of the target object in the program "SAPLMCEX".
                    The data type is "N" in the dataset, but "X" in the program.
        Since I don't have much knowledge in ABAP, Please help me out regarding this issue. Suggest me possible solution and let me know if you need any further information.

Hi,
Try adding a TRY CATCH block in the extractor function module to catch the exception.
For the type mismatch you will have to make sure the variables are of same type or they can be type converted.
Use the debug mode of RSA3 to find what data is being exchanged.
You will need to change your extractor to avoid the dump.. or ensure that the value being passed to that object is correctly being passed(correct format)
