• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EE_SE_MSG121 - Conversion of &1 (&2 with value &3) failed ?

  The SAP error message EE_SE_MSG121 indicates that there was a failure in converting a value from one data type to another. This error typically occurs in the context of data processing, where the system is trying to convert a field or variable of one type into another, but the conversion is not possible due to incompatible data types or invalid data.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The most common cause is that the data type of the source value does not match the expected data type of the target field. For example, trying to convert a string that contains non-numeric characters into a numeric type.
  Invalid Data: The value being converted may not be valid for the target data type. For instance, if the source value is a string that cannot be interpreted as a date or number.
  Null or Empty Values: If the source value is null or empty, the conversion may fail.
  Incorrect Field Length: If the source value exceeds the length of the target field, the conversion may fail.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Verify that the data types of the source and target fields are compatible. Ensure that the source value can be converted to the target type.
  Validate Input Data: Ensure that the data being processed is valid. For example, if converting to a date, ensure the string is in a valid date format.
  Handle Null Values: Implement checks to handle null or empty values before attempting conversion.
  Adjust Field Lengths: If the source value is too long, consider truncating it or adjusting the target field length to accommodate the data.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools in SAP to trace the point of failure and inspect the values being processed at that time.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to check transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE37 (Function Module) to find where the conversion is happening.
