  • 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).
