• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE082 - Maximum record length of 1500 characters exceeded ?

  The SAP error message DMEE082, which states "Maximum record length of 1500 characters exceeded," typically occurs in the context of the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) when generating payment files or other data formats. This error indicates that the record being generated exceeds the maximum allowed length of 1500 characters.
  Cause:
  
  Record Configuration: The structure of the DMEE format may be incorrectly configured, leading to records that exceed the maximum length.
  Data Input: The data being processed may contain fields that are too long, such as long text fields or concatenated values that exceed the limit.
  Field Length Definitions: The definitions of fields in the DMEE tree may not align with the expected lengths, causing the output to exceed the limit.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review DMEE Configuration:
  
  Check the DMEE tree structure and ensure that the record definitions are correctly set up. Look for any fields that may be unnecessarily long or concatenated.
  Adjust the field lengths in the DMEE tree to ensure that the total length of the record does not exceed 1500 characters.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Validate the data being processed to ensure that no individual fields exceed their defined lengths. This may involve truncating or modifying the data before it is processed by DMEE.
  
  
  
  Modify Output Format:
  
  If possible, consider modifying the output format to split records into multiple lines or segments if the data inherently requires more space.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the DMEE output to ensure that the error is resolved and that the output meets the required specifications.
