What causes this issue?

You tried to change a screen element, but this would have resulted in
the element colliding with the edge of its container or the screen
itself.
An example of this is adding an icon to a text. To display an icon, the
system requires two text columns plus one free column.

System Response

The change has not been made.

How to fix this error?

Before changing the element, enlarge the screen to make room for the
change. To do this, increase the number of maintenance lines and
columns in the screen attributes.
You can also enlarge the screen by dragging the edge out to a new
position. You may need to enlarge the window of the graphical layout
editor before you can do this.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 37756 - Screen or window limit reached ?

  The SAP error message "37756: Screen or window limit reached" typically occurs when the user has opened too many sessions or windows in the SAP GUI. Each SAP GUI session consumes system resources, and there is a limit to how many can be opened simultaneously, which varies based on system configuration and user settings.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Session Limit: Each user has a predefined limit on the number of sessions they can open. This limit is set by the system administrator and can vary from one SAP system to another.
  System Configuration: The SAP system may have been configured to restrict the number of active sessions for performance reasons.
  User Settings: The user profile may have specific settings that limit the number of sessions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Close Unused Sessions: The simplest solution is to close any SAP sessions or windows that are not currently in use. You can do this by:
  
  Using the "Close" button (X) on the session window.
  Using the menu option System > List > Session to view and close sessions.
  
  
  
  Check Session Limit: If you frequently encounter this error, check with your SAP administrator to understand the session limit set for your user profile. They may be able to increase the limit if necessary.
  
  
  Log Off: If you are unable to close sessions, logging off from the SAP system will terminate all active sessions.
  
  
  User Profile Adjustment: If you need more sessions for your work, request your SAP administrator to adjust your user profile settings to allow for more sessions.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: You can search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal for any updates or specific configurations related to session limits.
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) to check user settings or RZ10 (Profile Parameter Maintenance) to view system parameters related to session limits.
  Performance Considerations: Keep in mind that having too many open sessions can impact system performance, so it's generally a good practice to limit the number of active sessions to what is necessary for your work.
