• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE_ABA082 - Maximum record length of 1500 characters exceeded ?

  The SAP error message DMEE_ABA082, 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 Mapping: Incorrect mapping of fields in the DMEE tree can lead to unintended concatenation or inclusion of additional data.
  
  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 Field Lengths:
  
  If specific fields are too long, consider truncating them or adjusting the data being input to fit within the limits.
  Use the DMEE functions to limit the length of fields, such as using the SUBSTRING function to truncate long text.
  
  
  
  Test with Sample Data:
  
  Run tests with sample data to identify which specific records are causing the issue. This can help isolate the problem.
  
  
  
  Check for Concatenation:
  
  Ensure that fields are not being concatenated in a way that exceeds the limit. Review the logic in the DMEE tree for any concatenation operations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation for DMEE to understand the limitations and best practices for configuring record lengths.
  
  
  
  Error Handling:
  
  Implement error handling in your DMEE configuration to catch and log errors for further analysis.
