Message text: The even-numbered length of the DEC field &1 can cause problems
You want to use the field &v1& in the extract structure for DataSource
&v2&. This field has a field of type 'DEC' (or 'CURR' or 'QUAN') with an
even number of characters.
This can create problems since the length resulting from calculations
in ABAP (for example, in extractors or Customer Exits for
extraction) is too large to be inserted in the database later (PSA in
BW), causing a short dump.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
This warning is only relevant when the maximum length of this field
is exceeded during extraction, for example when the field is
expanded in the Customer Exit through a calculation.
More information and a remedy can be found in SAP Note 641744.
