KY438 - Details

• The SAP error message KY438 indicates that a list generated in the SAP system has been saved to a file on the application server. This message is typically informational rather than an error, and it is often encountered when a report or transaction generates a large output that is saved to a file for later retrieval or processing.
  
  Cause:
  
  The message is triggered when a report or transaction generates a list that exceeds the display limits of the SAP GUI or when the output is intentionally directed to a file for performance reasons.
  The file is saved on the application server, which means that the output is not directly visible in the SAP GUI but can be accessed later.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Access the File: To retrieve the saved file, you can use transaction code AL11 in SAP. This transaction allows you to view the directories on the application server and locate the file that was saved.
