When I'm creating a purchase order that have 10 items (or above), a run time error occurred. Below is the error message.
Category: ABAP Programming Error
Runtime Errors: CONVT_NO_NUMBER
ABAP Program: SAPLMEPO
Include MM06EF0B_BUCHEN
Application Component MM-PUR
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
This exception cannot be caught in the context of the current statement. The reason for the exception is: An attempt was made to interpret value "*" as a number. As this value contravenes the rules for displaying numbers correctly, this was not possible.
Below is the code where an exception occurred:
DATA indx.
indx = 1.
* Need to merge KNT and XEKKN
* algorithm is: if knt is old, use knt. Else use the equivalent from xekkn
LOOP AT knt.
IF knt-updkz EQ oldpos.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING knt TO lt_ekkn.
ELSE.
READ TABLE xekkn INDEX indx.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING xekkn to lt_ekkn.
indx = indx + 1.
ENDIF.
APPEND lt_ekkn.
ENDLOOP. "v 2068862It seems that the data type of indx (char 1), but when PO item index = 9, then index = 10 (actual value is * in debug mode ), so exception is happened.
How should I solve this problem?
I also post this issue here: https://scn.sap.com/message/16146617
You are right in assuming that indx is a C(1) since you (or the author of the code) did not specify a type. Changing the line to
DATA indx TYPE i.
should solve the issue.
