  The SAP error message RSDD_CS012 indicates that there is an issue with the internal data length for an attribute in a data model, typically in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. This error usually arises when the system expects a certain data length for an attribute but does not find it defined correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data Length Definition: The attribute in question does not have a defined internal data length, which is necessary for the system to process it correctly.
  Data Model Issues: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the data model or InfoObject definitions.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another, the transport might not have included all necessary definitions.
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type of the attribute may not match the expected type, leading to confusion in data length.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Attribute Definition:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1 for InfoObjects).
  Locate the attribute mentioned in the error message.
  Ensure that the internal data length is defined correctly for the attribute.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Type:

  If the InfoObject is corrupted or incorrectly defined, consider recreating it or adjusting its settings to ensure all necessary properties are set.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects and definitions were included.
