  • What causes this issue?

    Switch BC-Sets: Table/view &V1& in object &V3& contains a field ('&V2&')
    with a field length of more than 255 characters.
    Fields with an output length of more than 255 characters are not
    supported by BC sets.

    System Response

    Object &V3& cannot be used in switch BC sets because not all subobjects
    can be used.

    How to fix this error?

    This is not an incorrectly designed table/view. Principally, a field can
    have a length of more than 255 characters. Principally, a field can be
    of the 'STRING'/'XSTRING' type. However, because of BC set technology
    restrictions, this table/view cannot be used in switch BC sets and is
    therefore forbidden for the complete table.
    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.

    Procedure for System Administrators

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