• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_QUERY019 - For all entries selection is not allowed with package size (&1) ?

  The SAP error message FDT_QUERY019 indicates that there is an issue with the "For all entries" (FAE) selection in a query due to the package size limit. This error typically occurs when you are trying to execute a query that uses the "For all entries" option, but the number of entries exceeds the allowed package size.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Package Size: The error is triggered when the number of entries in the internal table exceeds the maximum allowed size for a single database query. This limit is often set to 1000 entries by default, but it can vary based on system settings.
  Inefficient Query Design: The query may be designed in a way that it attempts to fetch too many records at once, leading to performance issues and exceeding the package size.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reduce the Number of Entries: Modify the query to limit the number of entries being processed. You can do this by:
  
  Filtering the data more effectively.
  Using pagination to break down the query into smaller chunks.
  Adjusting the selection criteria to reduce the number of records returned.
  
  
  
  Increase Package Size: If appropriate, you can consider increasing the package size limit in the system settings. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires administrative access:
  
  Consult with your SAP Basis team to determine if this is a viable option and to understand the implications on system performance.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: Instead of using "For all entries," consider using other methods to retrieve data, such as:
  
  Using JOINs to fetch related data in a single query.
  Utilizing subqueries or temporary tables to manage large datasets more effectively.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date, as newer versions may have optimizations or fixes related to query handling.
