• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE458 - Variable &1 overflow; assigned number is too big ?

  The SAP error message DMEE458 indicates that there is an overflow issue with a variable in the Data Medium Exchange (DMEE) configuration. This typically occurs when a number assigned to a variable exceeds the maximum limit that can be handled by the system.
  Cause:
  
  Variable Overflow: The variable in question is trying to hold a number that is larger than its defined capacity. This can happen if the data being processed (e.g., amounts, counts) exceeds the expected range.
  Incorrect Configuration: The DMEE tree structure may have been incorrectly configured, leading to the assignment of a value that is too large for the defined variable.
  Data Input Issues: The source data being processed may contain unexpected or erroneous values that exceed the limits.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Variable Definitions: Review the DMEE configuration to ensure that the variables are defined with appropriate data types and sizes. Adjust the variable definitions if necessary to accommodate larger values.
  Adjust Input Data: If the input data is causing the overflow, consider validating and cleaning the data before processing it through DMEE.
  Modify DMEE Tree: If the DMEE tree structure is incorrectly set up, you may need to modify it to ensure that the values assigned to variables are within acceptable limits.
  Debugging: Use the DMEE debugging tools to trace the values being assigned to the variable and identify where the overflow is occurring. This can help pinpoint the exact cause of the issue.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to DMEE for any specific guidelines or limitations regarding variable sizes and configurations.
