• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE_ABA364 - Node &1: segment for end-of-line character; delayed output not possible ?

  The SAP error message DMEE_ABA364 typically occurs in the context of the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) when generating payment files, particularly in the ABA format. This error indicates that there is an issue with the end-of-line character in the specified node of the DMEE structure, which prevents the delayed output of the file.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following issues:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The DMEE tree structure may not be configured correctly, particularly in the node that is responsible for handling end-of-line characters.
  Missing End-of-Line Character: The segment defined in the DMEE tree may not have a proper end-of-line character defined, which is necessary for the file format.
  Output Format Issues: The output format settings may not align with the requirements of the ABA file format, leading to issues in generating the file correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DMEE_ABA364 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check DMEE Configuration:
  
  Go to the DMEE transaction (usually transaction code DMEE).
  Open the relevant DMEE tree that you are using for the ABA file format.
  Verify the configuration of the node that is causing the error. Ensure that the end-of-line character is correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Define End-of-Line Character:
  
  In the DMEE tree, ensure that the node has the correct end-of-line character defined. This is typically done in the properties of the node.
  You may need to add a segment that specifies the end-of-line character (e.g., \n for a newline).
  
  
  
  Review Output Format Settings:
  
  Check the output format settings in the DMEE tree to ensure they are compatible with the ABA format.
  Make sure that all required segments are included and correctly formatted.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by generating the payment file again.
  Monitor for any additional error messages that may provide further insight.
