Short Dump During List processing

Hi ,
Problem Desc:
    A program when it runs in production has huge number of data to be displayed in the list .While doing the write statement the internal table(system assigned internal table for list processing '%_LIST') exceeds the memory limit and goes for dump.
Please suggest for the following for finding a better solution, I am in 4.7 only
1.Once the program reaches a maximum memory limit I have to clear the list from memory
- so how to send the processed list to other persistent area like spool etc
- How to clear the internal list memory allocation ( Any c functions , Class is available for it )
- How to catch the memory used for the list process programmatically (for Internal table %_LIST)
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
Why don't you go for prevention rather than cure?
When the user selects the data ranges for the report, you could do a calculation to determine the size of the report and then ask them to restrict the criteria.  They could then run several reports rather than trying to do it all in one.
I would guess that if you are running out of memory that the report must be HUGE.  Who is going to look at something that large?
You could also increase the memory allocation to each work process (although this is a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut).
As for your quesions:
1. I'm not sure you can persist the spool yourself, and certainly not from within your program.  You could, however, spin off jobs from the main program which each had a portion of the overall data to process and thus each would generate a smaller spool (although collectively they would be the same size).
2. As I don't think you can achieve 1, I don't think there is any point to 2.
3. There was a thread discussing internal table memory consumption just today, with approaches for 6.20+ and 4.6-.  Heres the link: How to catch the Internal Table memory
Cheers,
Brad

  • Short dump during ME23N transaction due to missing field in KOMP table

    Hi All,
    We have just upgraded to Business Suite 7.0 and are experiencing the following error:
    Short dump during processing of transaction ME23N - error is in program SAPLV61A when the system calls the following field: KOMP_SERVICE_PARAM2 (this does not exist in KOMP). We need to get this resolved as soon as possible, It appears that SAP have removed this field from the table KOMP but the standard programme is still looking for this field. Can anyone provide an oss note number or insight into how to resolve this issue please.
    Many Thanks
    Amanda

    Dear,
    This problem is caused by a missing initialization of the structure KOMP in the program SAPLV61A.
    The problem may also occur during , when the "Create PO automatically" indicator (TVAP-ALEKZ) is set for the relevant item category in the item category Customizing (transaction VOV7). In this case, the data of the purchase order item that was previously processed is used for the back update of the sales order from the purchase order in KOMP.
    Add the following import parameter to the function module RV_KONV_SELECT:
        Parameter name        COMM_ITEM_I
        Typing          LIKE
        Associated type            KOMP
        Optional        X
        Pass Value       X
    Please refer the OSS note 1261566.

  • Short dump while activating process chain

    Please let me know the cause of short dump while activating process chain.. when trying to activate local process chains in metachain it is causing dump

    Can you share more details about error.
    Have you done any changes to local chain? or is this is new chain?
    Try to remove meta chain from schedule, later activate your local chain and meta chain.
    schedule your meta chain.

  • Short dump during select statement

    hi,
    i have to display 1 alv list output using REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY function module...so i have populated the data using select statement
    select EXIDV

               ernam from vekp
                    into corresponding fields of table  gt_master
                    up to gs_test-select_amount rows.
    so the data is also getting populated to gt_master table before the function module...but after executing the function module..it is giving short dump...due to some standard program....any idea

  • Short Dump during Business Content Installation

    Hi Gurus,
           I'm working on SAP BI 7.0.  I'm getting a Short Dump Error stating " Program error: ASSIGN with length 0 in program "SAPLSNR3".  " while I'm try to install the Business Content.
          I'm getting this error when I'm trying to install Business Content with Grouping Option " Data flow Before ", but I didn't face any problem when I started off with the Grouping Option " Only Necessary Objects ".
         I tried analysing this problem by going to ST22 transaction & during my analysis I found that in the said program " SAPLSNR3 ", there's LSNR3F01 include in which line number 178 is having a ASSIGN statement, where its trying to assign a computed value to some data variable. Now i understand that there's some problem with the value getting computed in the ASSIGN statement.
         I also tried finding some SAP Notes for the same problem, but to my misery I couldn't find anything appropriate. Could anyone of you who had faced similar problem  help me out.
         For further assistance in making your replies much easier here in I'm adding the information about BI 7.0 system components.

  • Short dump during activating the BC Set in SCPR20 - "GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED"

    Hi experts,
    We have upgraded from SRM 4 to 7.0.We are facing an issue when activating the BC Set in SCPR20. A short dump is occuring inside the program 'VIRSA/SAPLZVIR'. We got the solution that some correction instructions mentioned in the SAP Note 1095700 needs to be mplemented. The steps mentioned in the Note are,
    1) Run transaction SE54 and click the button 'Edit Function Group'.
    2) Next, enter the name of the function group /VIRSA/ZVR1.
    3) Select the radio button option 'Re-generate group-specific programs',and press the 'Change' button.
    4) In the following popup please mark only the option 'structure spec.data declaration renewal' and press enter.
    We were able to proceed with the first two steps but stuck up during the execution of step3. When we selected the radio button u2018Re-generate group-specific programsu2019 and when clicked on the change button, we are getting a message like u2018the name space u2018/VIRSA/ZVR1u2019 does not exists. Because of this we are not able to proceed with the last step.
    Kindly provide some ponters as of how to overcome this issue ..
    Thanks in advance,
    Dhan

    Hi there,
    To overcome this error you need to go to se06 and make the "/VIRSA/" namespace as Modifiable.
    Also, you should have a look at the following note if my first suggestion doesn't work.
    1041089 Tx SCPR20: GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED dump during BC Set activation
    Hope this helps.
    Kind Regards,

  • Short dump during choose of Contact Person for Opportunity

    Hello CRM Gurus,
    we are going to implement CRM also in another Sales Organization. We have created a special Role for this Users with the Authorization Objects:
    - CRM Order - Allowed Organ. Units - CRM_ORD_OE
    Activity                       01, 02, 03
    Distribution Channel           *
    Sales Group                    *
    Sales Office                   *
    Sales Organization             O 50001434
    Service Organization           *
    - CRM Order - Allowed Organ. Units - CRM_ORD_OP
    Activity                       02, 03
    Partner Function               *
    Partner Function Category      *
    So the User can create or generate, change, display Opportunities which are created within their Sales Organization and change, display Opportunities where this User is part of the Sales Team.
    When I create now a Opportunity and choose a Sales Prospect of another Sales Organization I get a shortdump. If I save the Opportunity before I can enter the Sales Prospect of the other Sales Organization.
    Steps for reconstruction:
    Logon to the Portal
    Navigate to Aquisition -> Opportunities
    Click on "Create ..."
    Choose "Opportunity"
    Enter "Test" in Description
    a) With Shortdump:
    Enter "Riedl El*" into the Field Sales Prospect, press enter
    A popup "Partner available for selection" appears. In the Background
    you will see "You have no authorization to execute action Edit"
    When you click now "Choose" you will get:
    Error message: The current application triggered a termination with a
    short dump. ( type of termination: RABAX_STATE )
    b) Without:
    Save the Opportunity
    Enter "Riedl El*" into the Field Sales Prospect and press enter.
    A popup "Partner available for selection" will appear because the
    Document was already saved and the Contact Partner search does not work
    with a saved document. But that is another story.
    No Shortdump will occur.
    Best Regards
    Gregor Wolf

    Hi Everybody,
    the Short dump problem is solved by SAP Note 797483. But OSS is still working on the authorization problem.

  • Short Dump during Import Statement from STXL(TX)

    Hi All,
    issue for me.
    Error analysis
        An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
        The exception which is assigned to class CX_SY_IMPORT_FORMAT_ERROR was not
         caught in
        procedure READ_TEXTLINES (FORM) nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
        Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
        exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
        The reason for the exception is:
        When attempting to IMPORT the object TLINE there was a format error.
        Unable to read an IMPORT dataset.
        The dataset may have been processed using SQL and is
        thus no longer readable for the IMPORT.
    Information on where terminated
        Termination occurred in the ABAP program SAPLSTXD - in READ_TEXTLINES
        The main program was RS_TESTFRAME_CALL .
        In the source code you have the termination point in line 106
        of the (Include) program LSTXDFDB.
        The termination is caused because exception C_SY_IMPORT_FORMAT_ERROR
         occurred in
        procedure READ_TEXTLINES (FORM) but it was neither handled locally n
         declared
        in the RAISING clause of its signature.

    Do you know any note or solution  to resolve this problem.
    Best regards,
    Jacek Witczak

    Hi, I came back to working on "Dunning by collection strategy with BRFplus". According to your sugestions, I raised the level of components:
    SAP_BASIS Level 09
    SAP_ABA level 09
    PI_BASIS level 09
    SAP_BW level 09
    But still I have the same short dump.
    Shoudl we raise any other components? Maybe you know note, which resolve this problem?

  • SEM-BCS Short Dump while executing Manual Posting Task

    Hi SEM-BCS Colleagues,
    I am having a peculiar problem with relation to the settings for Manual Postings. I have three scenarios for which I have defined manual document types and tasks 1) Standardizing Entry (Data Collection) 2) Manual Document in IU for adjustment 3) COI Group level manual postings. I am just creating and not changing any settings for document field properties also. I have configured monthly consolidation frequency and period category and I am posting document type 1 in Local Currency and 2 and 3 in Group Currency since they are after currency translation.
    Have any of you faced similar problem and help me please?

    Hello,
    I am also getting short dump during data collection in BCS.
    we recently upgraded the system to SP20. Is it anyway related to upgrade.
    I also checked the MYSELF as a source system, but not found one.
    Could you please let me know how you have solved this issue.

    Date and Time          04.12.2009 05:21:11
    Short text
         Too many parameters specified with PERFORM.
    What happened?
         In a subroutine call, there were more parameters than in the
         routine definition.
         Error in the ABAP Application Program
         The current ABAP program "SAPLRSDRI" had to be terminated because it has
         come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
    Error analysis
         An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
         The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_NOT_FOUND', was
          not caught in
         procedure "RSDRI_CUBE_WRITE_PACKAGE_RFC" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by
          a RAISING clause.
         Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
         exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
         The reason for the exception is:
         A PERFORM was used to call the routine "CUBE_WRITE_PACKAGE" of the program
          "GPD1S8520HM8UV0U2XBDVPADF03".
         This routine contains 7 formal parameters, but the current call
         contains 10 actual parameters.

  • Function Module READ_TEXT short dump

    Hi All,
    I've created a bespoke long text object so I can save some long text to it.  I created it by copying the SAP standard long text object for CATS (timesheets) in SE75.  I save to this object using the function module SAVE_TEXT and I read it back using the function module READ_TEXT.  I get a short dump during READ_TEXT which says:
    "CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_TYPE
    Error when attempting to IMPORT object "TLINE".
    When importing the object "TLINE", the component no. 1 in the dataset has a different type from the corresponding component of the target object in the program "SAPLSTXD ".
    The data type is "I" in the dataset, but "C" in the program."
    I've looked on OSS (as it's a SAP standard program) but can't find anything.  I get no errors when trying to read the standard object CATS only when I try and read my new object, so I'm thinking that I haven't set it up correctly.  An entry in table STXH occurs for both objects so I know I have saved some long text in my object.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    have you passed the correct parameters to the FM.
    try to check the sample...
    data: it_lines like tline occurs 0 with header line.
        CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
             EXPORTING
                  CLIENT                  = SY-MANDT

                 REFERENCE_CHECK         = 6
                 WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7

    i think it is because of it_lines declaration.
