Summary :
The issue occurs with Table KOMP where the error 'GETWA_WRONG_LENGTH' can appear in any program that uses Table KOMP. The problem emerges when generating an operating concern; the system adds new fields to Table KOMP and then regenerates it. This process rewrites the nametab on the application server, making the changes unknown to other servers until they read the updated nametab from the database after about two minutes, leading to inconsistency. To address this, manually synchronize the nametab using /$NAME and avoid generating operating concerns when many users are active.
