Statement "CONVERT TEXT t INTO SORTABLE CODE sc" converts a text field t to a sortable format appropriate for the locale, and stores it in field sc.

In this particular case, source field <runtime parameter> of type <runtime parameter> has a length of <runtime parameter> bytes and target field <runtime parameter> has a length of <runtime parameter> bytes.

When converting the source field contents <runtime parameter> (hexadecimal: <runtime parameter>) into a sortable format appropriate for the locale, system function <runtime parameter> returned <runtime parameter> = <runtime parameter> as the required target field length.

The value <runtime parameter> = <runtime parameter> indicates that <runtime parameter> was unable to interpret the source field content as a valid text. Please see abap error for more details about the possible cause of this runtime error and how it could be avoided.
