• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060023 - No separators permitted in packed/hexadecimal fields. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060023 No separators permitted in packed/hexadecimal fields typically occurs when you are trying to import or process data using the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) and the data format does not comply with the expected structure for packed or hexadecimal fields.
  Cause:
  This error is usually caused by:
  
  Incorrect Data Format: The data being imported contains separators (like commas, spaces, or other delimiters) in fields that are defined as packed or hexadecimal in the target structure.
  Data Mapping Issues: The mapping of the source data to the target structure may not be correctly defined, leading to the inclusion of invalid characters in packed or hexadecimal fields.
  Data Source Issues: The source file or database may have been incorrectly formatted or may contain unexpected characters.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Format:
  
  Review the source data file to ensure that packed and hexadecimal fields do not contain any separators or invalid characters.
  Ensure that the data adheres to the expected format for packed (usually numeric) and hexadecimal (binary) fields.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Mapping:
  
  In the LSMW project, check the field mapping to ensure that the source fields are correctly mapped to the target fields.
  If necessary, modify the mapping to ensure that packed and hexadecimal fields are populated correctly without any separators.
  
  
  
  Data Cleansing:
  
  If the source data contains invalid characters, consider preprocessing the data to remove any separators or unwanted characters before importing it into SAP.
  Use data transformation tools or scripts to clean the data.
  
  
  
  Test with Sample Data:
  
  Create a small sample of the data that adheres to the correct format and test the import process to ensure that it works without errors.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on the expected formats for packed and hexadecimal fields.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Packed Fields: In SAP, packed fields are typically used to store numeric values in a compact format. They do not allow any separators and are defined with a specific length.
  Hexadecimal Fields: These fields are used to store binary data and also do not permit separators.
  LSMW: The Legacy System Migration Workbench is a tool in SAP used for data migration from legacy systems to SAP systems. It requires careful mapping and formatting of data to ensure successful imports.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully import your data into SAP.
