How To Fix DO275 - No length restriction

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DO - Dictionary: Mass activation of domains and data elements

• Message number: 275

• Message text: No length restriction

What causes this issue?

Length specification for string data types is used as a basis for
optimizing the storage of string fields on the database. For the types
STRING and RAWSTRING, optimization is no longer possible after a certain
length. In this case the length specification can be omitted (Length 0).
You have entered STRING or RAWSTRING with length 0 as the data type.
Therefore the system cannot execute optimization for storage on the
database, but instead accepts an unlimited length.
