How To Fix DA640 - Switch to new table is possible (processing required)

DA640 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DA - Dictionary: Compare, distribution, timer, instantiation

• Message number: 640

• Message text: Switch to new table is possible (processing required)

What causes this issue?

The table was already converted incrementally. A further check showed
that the target structure created by the conversion program contains
more fields than there are in the active definition of the table (see
Transaction SE11).
After completing conversion in Phase PCON, the runtime object and the
table are consistent and correspond to the SAP standard. The following
upgrade phases therefore are not affected, but note that the active
table definition is not suitable for the runtime object. You therefore
have to edit this conversion after the upgrade.

System Response

The switch to the new table takes place in Phase PCON.

How to fix this error?

Adjust the table definition after the upgrade. Use Transaction SE11
here. First activate the check. This finds the inconsistencies and
displays them in a log.
