How to keep short dumps for a longer time

Question

Hi All,
I need to write a program to fetch all the below mentioned fields from the system dump tables and insert into a user defind table. Please help me with the code. Thanks in advance....
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
ABAP runtime errors (also known as short-dumps) are kept in the system only for two days, mainly because every short-dump can use a lot of disk space depending on short-dump type. Problem is that this reduced time frame (two days) is not allowing us to focus in solve the more frequent ones and we do not have any statistic about:
    how many are we getting
    how often
    repetitive ones
PROPOSED SOLUTION
We need a program to be executed in a daily job right after midnight which will take the basic information of all today’s short-dumps and store it in a custom table.
Information to be kept:
      DATE
      TIME
      HOST
      USER
      SYSTEM
      CLIENT
      ERROR ID
      TRANSACTION
      PROGRAM NAME
      PROGRAM NAME VERSION (TRANSPORT REQUEST NUMBER)
      PROGRAM NAME VERSION TIMESTAMP (transported to PPx)
      SCREEN
      SCREEN LINE
      MAIN PROGRAM NAME
      MAIN PROGRAM NAME VERSION (TRANSPORT REQUEST NUMBER)
      MAIN PROGRAM NAME VERSION TIMESTAMP (transported to PPx)
      PROGRAM LINE NUMBER AT TERMINATION
      SAP RELEASE
      SAP KERNEL
      PATCH LEVEL
      DATABASE VERSION
The program must have archiving capabilities implemented. In the month end run it will also perform the table house-keeping accordingly with a parameter like this:
     ERROR-ID
     MONTHS TO KEEP
We need to have the possibility of defining different retention periods for different kind of errors, for example our friend GETWA_TOO_MANY_SEGMENT could be stored for a year and a simple CONVT_NO_NUMBER only for a month. One of the parameters should be the default one, something like 
        ERROR-ID **************
        MONTHS TO KEEP 01.

Answer 1

Aruna,
Following may be the action points for your requirements.
1. Create Custom table with all fields you required.
2. Create ABAP program to extract the data from SAP standard table where runtime error information is stored.
Like: select * from snap_beg into wa_snap_beg
          where seqno = '000'
          and   datum in s_datum
          and   uzeit in s_uzeit
          and   ahost in s_ahost
          and   uname in s_uname
          and   mandt in s_mandt.......
So SNAP_BEG is a table where you can find dump information.
After extracting the data from this table insert it into a Custom table which you have created in Step 1.
Use INSERT statement for this.
3. Create transaction for this report.
4. Schedule this program every day so that you will get all data into custom table.
I hope this will help you.
