SAP Note 1169995 - Unicode migration: Incorrect VARDAT length in cluster KAPOL

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses multiple symptoms related to display and handling errors of condition records in certain table pools, specifically KAPOL. Issues include runtime errors like DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_RSQL, dictionary and nametab length inconsistencies, and errors in transaction SE11 where the data length exceeds maximum capacity. Dictionary checks reveal discrepancies in length and type, and a log error pertaining to incorrect pool tables is observed in client copies. A database error ORA-12899 is also reported. These issues arose post multiple executions of the UMG_POOL_TABLE program during a Unicode conversion, increasing the VARDATA field length. The suggested remedy involves running the report RATPONTC as detailed in Note 686357 to correct these inconsistencies.
