Summary :
The SAP Note details issues during R3trans import with errors like internal errors, buffer mismatches, and unexpected EOFs mainly arising due to file corruption during FTP transfer in text mode and incomplete transfers. Issues are also linked to direct tape writing problems, data unpacking from upgrade CDs, disk errors, and a HP-UX bug. Solutions include ensuring binary mode file transfer, verifying complete transfers, re-imports without unconditional modes, re-unpacking data files, disk error checks, and acquiring specific patches for HP-UX systems to address these errors and prevent data file corruption or read failures.
