  The SAP error message GB517 ("The row is full") typically occurs when you are trying to add more data to a table or a data structure that has reached its maximum capacity. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with internal tables, database tables, or certain data structures in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Internal Tables: If you are using an internal table in ABAP and you try to insert more entries than the defined maximum size, you will encounter this error.
  Database Tables: If a database table has a defined limit on the number of rows or if it has reached its maximum capacity, you may see this error.
  Data Structures: Certain data structures may have limits on the number of entries they can hold, leading to this error when those limits are exceeded.

  Check Table Size: Verify the maximum size of the internal table or database table you are working with. If you are using an internal table, consider increasing its size or using a different data structure that can accommodate more entries.
  Use Dynamic Tables: If you are working with internal tables, consider using dynamic tables that can grow as needed. You can use the APPEND statement to add entries dynamically.
  Optimize Data Handling: Review your logic to ensure that you are not unnecessarily adding duplicate or redundant entries to the table.
  Database Management: If the error is related to a database table, check if there are any constraints or limits set on the table. You may need to archive old data or increase the capacity of the database.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your ABAP code to gracefully manage situations where the table is full, such as notifying the user or logging the error for further analysis.
