"The even-numbered length of the DEC field I_DFZ_EX can lead to problems"

Question

Hi All,
I am getting the following warning message while activating the PP datasources,
2LIS_04_P_MATNR
2LIS_04_P_ARBPL
Warning Message: "The even-numbered length of the DEC field I_DFZ_EX can lead to problems"
                               "The even-numbered length of the DEC field I_DLZ_EX can lead to problems"
                               "The even-numbered length of the DEC field S_DFZ_EX can lead to problems"
                               "The even-numbered length of the DEC field S_DLZ_EX can lead to problems"
Checked in SDN, but no answer.
Need your expert solution, to resolve.

Answer 1

Thank you Des, for immediate response.
But i have already gone through the Note.
As we are using ghe standard datasources, can you suggest which option should i use to resolve.
Solution
If the field is not manipulated in the customer exit or elsewhere, no
processing is required.
If you change the field, the following possible solutions are available:
1. You can make sure that the number of the characters does not
increase after the manipulation.
2. If you can change the extract structure of the DataSource without
affecting other scenarios (for example, if it was generated in
transaction RSO2), you can increase the length of the DEC field (or
CURR, QUAN) there to the next odd character (in the example above:
from DEC 4 on DEC 5).
3. If neither of these solutions are possible, you can use a customer
append that contains a relevant DEC field (or CURR, QUAN) with the
next highest odd length. This can be used for the result of the
calculations. This means that you do not have to manipulate the
previous field.
