How To Fix RSDS190 - &1: No conversion performed from external format

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDS - New DataSource

• Message number: 190

• Message text: &1: No conversion performed from external format

What causes this issue?

The currently selected adapter &V2& for the current DataSource returns
data fully typed in the internal format. For this reason, classifying
the format for &V1& as <LS>external</> is not useful. The format will
not be converted to the internal format.
This may even result in a loss of data if the data in the source is
available in an external format which is not compatible with the
internal format in terms of type or length since the adapter expects to
receive the internal format from the source.
Exceptions:
The data type is CURR
The data type is CHAR, CUKY or UNIT and
an ALPHA conversion exit is specified
the length is the same as the external (output) length and
- a conversion exit is specified
- you want to perform a conversion to uppercase letters

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Choose a different adapter or change the format specified for &V1& to
<LS>internal</> and make sure that the data is available in the internal
format in the source.
