Upgrade from 4.6C to ERP2005 SR2. Problems with TOOLIMP4_UCMIG.

[Former Member]

Hi

We are upgrading from 4.6C to ERP2005 SR2 and are having problems in

prepare phase "Start of phase toolimp4_ucmig". The phase runs forever...

We also get this syntax error:

ABAP runtime errors SYNTAX_ERROR

Occurred on 19.04.2007 at 00:20:35

-

---

Syntax error in program "SAPLSDB6 ".

-

What happened?

-

The following syntax error occurred in the program SAPLSDB6 :

"Offset specification "+2" is greater than or equal to field length ("2"). "

The current ABAP/4 program "SAPLSICN " had to be terminated because

one of the statements could not be executed.

This is probably due to an error in the ABAP/4 program.

Our environment is as follows:

Patch level.............. "2057"

Patch text............... " "

Supported environment....

Database................. "V5R1, V5R2, V5R3"

SAP database version..... "46D"

Operating system......... "OS/400 V5R1 M0, OS/400 V5R2 M0, OS/400 V5R3 M0, ,

System build information:, -

, LCHN : "

Hope anyone can help us

Hi Mads,

I guess you are NOT doing the combined Unicode&Upgrade ?

If yes, your kernel-patch with 2057 is too low - you need at least 2108. I typically use a 2291-CD and think, that a patch is really helpful anyway, because 2057 is totally old and not really advised for an upgrade.

Anyway, where I now see how old your kernel is, I think, you should first update, even when a syntax error is normally not solved with a kernel patch ,,,

Hi Volker

We changed layout on 2 files. ICNV30L and ICNV31L files is used for the upgrade process. There is apparently an inconsistent field property. TABLEN in ICNV30L is lenght 2 but the upgrade process expects 4. OFFSET in ICNV31L is 2 and also expects 4. We changed the values and started the PREPARE phase again and it's still running......

Hope it works this time....
