Message type: E = Error
Message class: S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY - IMG Activity
Message number: 234
Message text: Table/view &1 contains forbidden data field (&2 > 255 characters)
Switch BC sets: Table/view &V1& contains data fields with a field length
of more than 255 characters.
You cannot use the table/view in switch BC sets because a table/view can
only be used in switch BC sets if all fields can be included.
This is not an incorrectly designed table/view. Principally, a field can
have a length of more than 255 characters. However, because of BC set
technology restrictions, this table/view cannot be used in BC sets.
The problem can be solved only if the (SAP) developer responsible
changes the design of the table/view in the Data Dictionary. The length
must be reduced to a value < 256 characters (output length). If a
maintenance dialog was generated for the table/view, you must then
regenerate it by using transaction SE54.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
