How To Fix 37062 - Screen limit exceeded (&1 lines, &2 columns)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 37 - Screen Painter

• Message number: 062

• Message text: Screen limit exceeded (&1 lines, &2 columns)

What causes this issue?

The message appears either when you move screen elements or blocks, or
when you change the length (number of columns) or height (number of
lines) of a screen element.
Moving
If the system were to move or copy the block to the desired cursor
position, at least one of its elements would exceed the screen border.
Since the cursor position is always the top left-hand corner of the
target block, only the right-hand or bottom edge can be at fault.
Resizing
The screen element would become so big that the right-hand or bottom
edge would exceed the screen border.

How to fix this error?

Moving
Reposition the cursor so that there is enough space to copy or move the
object. If this is not possible, you can cut the selected block and, if
necessary, insert it into another screen. Alternatively, you can choose
F3 or "Deselect" to remove the marking without cutting, moving or
copying the block.
Resizing
Reduce the size of the screen element so that it falls within the
right-hand and bottom edges (maintenance size) of the screen.
If the maintenance size is insufficient, you can increase it on the
"Screen attributes" screen.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 37062 - Screen limit exceeded (&1 lines, &2 columns) ?

  The SAP error message "37062: Screen limit exceeded (&1 lines, &2 columns)" indicates that the number of lines and/or columns in a screen exceeds the maximum allowed limits set by the SAP system. This typically occurs when a screen is designed to display more data than the system can handle, leading to performance issues or display problems.
  Cause:
  
  Screen Design: The screen layout may have been designed with too many fields or controls, exceeding the maximum allowed dimensions.
  Data Volume: The amount of data being displayed on the screen may be too large, causing the screen to exceed the defined limits.
  Custom Development: If there are custom screens or transactions, they may not adhere to the standard limits set by SAP.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Screen Layout: Check the screen layout in the screen painter (SE80 or SE41) and reduce the number of lines and columns. Aim to keep the design within the limits.
  Optimize Data Display: If the screen is displaying a large dataset, consider implementing pagination or filtering options to limit the amount of data shown at one time.
  Use Subscreens: Break down the information into subscreens or tabs to distribute the data across multiple screens rather than trying to fit everything into one.
  Check Custom Code: If the error arises from custom development, review the code to ensure it adheres to SAP's screen limits and optimize it accordingly.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or solutions for this specific error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP's official documentation for guidelines on screen design and limits.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE41 (Menu Painter) to analyze and modify screen layouts.
  Performance Considerations: Keep in mind that overly complex screens can lead to performance degradation, so always aim for a balance between functionality and usability.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for further investigation and assistance.
