COMPUTE_BCD_OVERFLOW in Database Performance collector.

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have problem with refreshing data in DB02.

I'm having COMPUTE_BCD_OVERFLOW short dump after attempting to refresh db02 view.

Please help

Hi Yamyam

I think COMPUTE_BCD_OVERFLOW is an error in the ABAP Application program. Usually encountered whenever the system is unable to interpret an arithmetic operation in the program.

Please consult an ABAP application programmer on this one.

Hi All,

This only happens last monday. There were no system modification happend and the only ground that i'm looking at is the continuous growth of tablespaces.

It was stated in SAP note 1066044 that;

Reason and Prerequisites

Systems with more than 99999 database objects experience an overflow during refresh. Data-elements DB02N_SE_TAB_NUM, DB02N_SE_IND_NUM, DB02N_SE_OTH_NUM and DB02N_SE_TOT_NUM are too short to handle such figures.

"Solution"

The problem only occurs on release 700 and it is corrected with basis support package 13. Unfortunately the corrections cannot be applied via snote but you can perform it manually:

Go to transaction SE11 and change the following 4 data-elements as described below:

DB02N_SE_TAB_NUM from domain "DB02N_NUMBER_5" to "DB02N_NUMBER_15"

DB02N_SE_IND_NUM from domain "DB02N_NUMBER_5" to "DB02N_NUMBER_15"

DB02N_SE_OTH_NUM from domain "DB02N_NUMBER_5" to "DB02N_NUMBER_15"

DB02N_SE_TOT_NUM from domain "DB02N_NUMBER_5" to "DB02N_NUMBER_15"

==================================================================

I checked the data elements and its already 15 so I moved forward to SAPnote 1080761

- I'm now planning to do what is stated in this sap note.

Any suggestion on this experts?

here is the current level of sap basis: release 700 level 13

I guess this is not going to help as you said that DB02N is working fine,the problem is with DB02

the note tells how to solve issues if this occurs in DB02N

Hi Goyal,

I have crossed-check this with SAP and they have confirmed that the sap note is not only for DB02n transaction.

Hi ,

Could you please put some more information.

[Former Member]

Hi,

My issue is related to SAP note 1066044

The difference is, Error is encountered in DB02 and not in DB02N.

Hi,

Upgrade the sap_basis patch level of your system to its current level.Check the sap note 1003467.

Hello

what is the current basis patch level of your system,

according to the note this issue must get resloved if you are using SAPKB70013-Basis pack level

Also what is the database:MSSSQL or Oracle?
