Hi,

I am hitting the error below in ABAP Stage which tries to extract records with Chinese characters (Multi-byte). I have tried changing the SQL Type to varchar, nvarchar, nchar, varchar unicode and char but nothing seems to work. At the same time I have also set the NLS setting to 'gb18030'. Records are retrieved ok but there is still error in the Director Log though the job finishes. Any idea what setting I missed out that might cause this error?

Error -> "ABAP_Extract_Z,0: U_TRUNCATED_CHAR_FOUND encountered"

Thanks

Welcome aboard. :D

This message is being generated by/in the ABAP code. Enlist the help of your SAP R/3 administrators to trace and track what might be causing it.

I presume that you have the GB18030 NLS map built and installed for DataStage.

Hi Ray,

Another question, why do we need to ask the R/3 Administrator? Shouldn't it be something to do with its language setting or incompatible datatype?

Thanks again

Because most of the trace tools require adminstrator privilege.
