3467445 - Language code from source system column length is being converted from 1 into 2 characters by datasphere

Symptom

Language codes that are 'length 1' are being converted to 'length 2' on datasphere after replication.

Environment

SAP Datasphere

Reproducing the Issue

  1. You use a replication from to bring language data (as example from an ECC system - table T001 SPRAS column)
  2. Executing the flow you notice data is truncated, convertend from lenght 1 to 2
    E (english) is converted to EN (English) as example.

Cause

The system works as designed as datasphere works with the ISO codes instead of LANG type used in ABAP systems.

Resolution

No actions are available to use the ABAP Lang type on Datasphere. ISO codes should be used instead as they are more widely used and available.
