How To Fix AQV135 - Number of columns for statistic increased to &

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AQV - Message texts for SAP Query

• Message number: 135

• Message text: Number of columns for statistic increased to &

What causes this issue?

When defining statistics, the number of columns needed to output a line
of the statistics was found to be larger than the number of columns
defined as list format. The number of columns was therefore increased
to the required size.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

DO NOT set the number of columns for the list format back to a smaller
value. The report generator of the ABAP Query sets the number of
columns to the required size. In this case the number of columns shown
in the "Title, Format" screen is not the same as the number of columns
of the generated report.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AQV135 - Number of columns for statistic increased to & ?

  The SAP error message AQV135 indicates that the number of columns for a statistic has increased beyond a certain limit. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's statistical analysis or reporting functionalities, particularly when dealing with large datasets or complex queries.
  Cause:
  The error message AQV135 is triggered when the number of columns in a statistical report or query exceeds the predefined limit set by the SAP system. This can happen due to:
  
  Excessive Data Selection: When a query or report is designed to pull too many fields or columns from the database.
  Complex Queries: In cases where multiple joins or aggregations are used, leading to an increase in the number of columns.
  Configuration Limits: The system has a maximum limit for the number of columns that can be processed in a single statistic, which can vary based on the version and configuration of SAP.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the AQV135 error, consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Reduce the Number of Columns: Modify the query or report to limit the number of columns being selected. Focus on the most relevant data fields needed for analysis.
  
  
  Break Down the Query: If the query is complex, consider breaking it down into smaller, more manageable parts. This can help in reducing the number of columns processed at one time.
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings related to statistics and reporting in your SAP system. There may be parameters that can be adjusted to allow for more columns, but this should be done with caution and ideally under the guidance of an SAP Basis or technical consultant.
  
  
  Use Aggregation: If applicable, use aggregation functions to summarize data instead of pulling detailed records. This can significantly reduce the number of columns.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using for any additional guidance or updates regarding this error.
