How To Fix GS514 - Set & contains too many entries. See long text

GS514 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GS - Sets

• Message number: 514

• Message text: Set & contains too many entries. See long text

What causes this issue?

The set &V1& is used in a validation, substitution or rule (see
<DS:REPN.RGUSTU01>Set Usage</>). Therefore, it is not necessary to
generate ABAP coding for this set. This code generation is not possible
because the set &V1& contains too many values or intervals.

System Response

If you change this set, a lower-level set or the affected validation,
substitution or rule, processing is continued.
When you use the affected validation, substitution or rule (for
example, in a posting transaction), this error message appears as an
ABAP runtime error and the transaction is cancelled.

How to fix this error?

The set &V1& cannot be used in validationes, substitutions or rules.
You may be able to reduce the size of the set by grouping the single
values into intervals (for example, instead of the single values 0001,
0002 and 0003, use the interval 0001-0003).
If that is not possible, you can change the affected boolean rule, for
example, instead of "<value> IN &V1&" use the rule "( <value> IN SET1
OR <value> IN SET2 )". SET1 and SET2 together contain the values from
&V1& (for example, subhierarchies on the highest hierarchy level).

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GS514 - Set & contains too many entries. See long text ?

  The SAP error message GS514 ("Set & contains too many entries. See long text") typically occurs when a set or a table in SAP contains more entries than the system can handle for a particular operation. This is often related to the use of sets in reporting or selection criteria, where the number of entries exceeds the allowed limit.
  
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Limits: The error is triggered when the number of entries in a set exceeds the maximum limit defined in the system. This limit can vary based on the specific SAP configuration and the type of operation being performed.
  Inefficient Data Management: Large sets may be created due to inefficient data management practices, such as not regularly cleaning up or archiving old data.
  Complex Queries: If a query or report is trying to process a large number of records, it may lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reduce Set Size: Review the set in question and try
