Documentation

Definition

If this indicator is set, the PSA is not generated in a typed structure but with fields of type CHAR.

The conversion exits (if available) are only applied after the data is read from the PSA.

Use

Use the option

  • if conversion during loading causes problems, for example, because there is no appropriate conversion routine
  • if the source cannot guarantee that data is loaded with the correct data type.

In this case the data can still be loaded into the PSA where it can be corrected.
