Hallo,
it looks like, that the overflow is not a working description for our problem. We changed the definition of the string value inside the SAP ABAP-code to a larger value, and observed the same behaviour.

Now, we have decided to change the code. We will perform an explicit conversion with TO_CHAR(numer_value) inside the SELECT-Statement.

Thanks for the answer.
