• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AMDP_DBG217 - Displayed data is truncated. ?

  The SAP error message AMDP_DBG217, which states "Displayed data is truncated," typically occurs when the output of an ABAP Managed Database Procedure (AMDP) is too large to be displayed in the current context, such as in a debugger or a report output. This can happen for various reasons, including the limitations of the display area or the data type used in the output.
  Causes:
  
  Data Size Limitations: The output data exceeds the maximum size that can be displayed in the current context.
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type used in the AMDP might not be suitable for the amount of data being returned.
  Debugger Limitations: If you are viewing the data in the debugger, it may have limitations on how much data it can display at once.
  Output Formatting: The way the output is formatted or structured may lead to truncation.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Size: Review the amount of data being returned by the AMDP. If it is too large, consider filtering the data or limiting the number of records returned.
  Adjust Data Types: Ensure that the data types used in the AMDP are appropriate for the data being processed. For example, using STRING or CLOB for large text fields.
  Use Pagination: If applicable, implement pagination in your AMDP to return data in smaller chunks rather than all at once.
  Debugger Settings: If you are using the debugger, check if there are settings that can be adjusted to allow for larger data displays.
  Output to a File: If the data is too large to display, consider writing the output to a file or a database table for further analysis.
  Review AMDP Logic: Ensure that the logic within the AMDP is optimized and does not return unnecessary data.
