SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY - IMG Activity

• Message number: 245

• Message text: Table &1 in object &3 contains field '&2' of length > 255 characters

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.
