Answer 1

Summary
Symptom
The technical limits for data structure of an operating concern could constrain further extension for large applications.
The current limits are set as follows:
50 characteristics
120 value fields
249 fields in table
1948 bytes of table width
Other terms
data structure, KEA0, characteristics, value fields
Reason and Prerequisites
This was due to historical as well as performance reasons, because of database and system limitations in past.
Solution
As of basis 6.20 package 25 was extended the limit of database table length to 4030 characters. According that, the limits for CO-PA data structure are adapted as well.
By applying of the attached source code correction the limits are extended as follows:
50 characteristics
200 value fields
749 fields in table
4030 bytes of table width
Caution:
The correction can be applied also in ERP release 4.70, but only under the condition, that basis release 6.20, support package 25 or higher is applied.
