CX_SY_READ_SRC_LINE_TOO_LONG what does it mean ?

Question

Hello all.
I've got the problem with FM 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'. My report always fails at calling this FM.
Here is the part of error message that i get:
An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below      
. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_READ_SRC_LINE_TOO_LONG',
was neither                                                                  
caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure              
"K_KKB_FIELDCAT_MERGE" "(FUNCTION)"                                          
Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception      
to occur, the running program was terminated.                                
The reason for the exception is:                                              
You tried to read the program "Z_VEDOM_IM" from the database. The READ REPORT 
statement allows you to copy a program's source code into an internal         
table. The lines of source code must not be longer than the width of the      
internal table. The internal table is 72 characters wide. The source         
code line is 88 wide.                                                         
Sorry, but i cannot understand what is going wrong. Help me please.

Hello Alex
The problem is very simple. There is at least a single line of coding within your report which is longer than the allowed 72 characters (actually 88). Most likely this line or lines are in your report Z_VEDOM_IM:
Since coding lines > 72 chars are allowed on ECC releases I assume you are still working on 4.6c.
<i>Solution</i>: search for these lines (> 72 chars) and introduce line-breaks where appropriate.
