• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CD090 - & structure for return of field KZ too short ?

  The SAP error message CD090, which states "Structure for return of field KZ too short," typically occurs in the context of data processing or when working with certain SAP modules, such as SD (Sales and Distribution) or MM (Materials Management). This error indicates that the system is trying to return a value in a field (KZ) that is not long enough to accommodate the data being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Field Length Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is that the field KZ is defined with a length that is shorter than the data being returned. This can happen if the data being processed exceeds the expected length.
  Custom Development: If there are custom programs or enhancements (like user exits or BAdIs) that manipulate the data, they may not be handling the field lengths correctly.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, the field lengths may not match the expected lengths in the SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Definitions: Review the data dictionary (SE11) for the structure that contains the field KZ. Ensure that the field length is appropriate for the data being returned.
  Adjust Custom Code: If there are custom developments involved, check the code to ensure that it correctly handles the field lengths. You may need to modify the code to accommodate longer values.
  Data Validation: Validate the data being processed to ensure it does not exceed the expected length. If necessary, truncate or modify the data before processing.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. There may be patches or updates that resolve the issue.
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the affected processes to ensure that the error is resolved and that no new issues are introduced.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or SE37 (Function Module) to investigate the structures and function modules involved.
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider using the debugger to trace the execution of the program and identify where the field length issue arises.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to the specific module you are working with, as it may provide insights into field lengths and data handling.
  
  Structure for Return of Field KZ:
  If you are defining a structure for the return of field KZ, ensure that the structure is defined with appropriate lengths. For example:
  DATA: BEGIN OF return_structure,
          kz TYPE c LENGTH 10,  " Adjust length as necessary
        END OF return_structure.
  Make sure that the length of kz is sufficient to hold the expected data. Adjust the length based on the maximum expected size of the data being returned.
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
