(standard size) to save your table. This means it is not possible to
store the entire table. The number of blocks is restricted to 9999, and
the last cluster block is reserved as an error cluster.

How to fix this error?

You need to increase the size of the cluster block for this table. The

MQ350 - Details

• The SAP error message MQ350 indicates that the maximum number of clusters (9998) has been exceeded in the SAP system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's database management, particularly when dealing with the clustering of database objects or when managing large volumes of data.
  
  Cause:
  
  Cluster Limit Exceeded: The primary cause of this error is that the system has reached the maximum limit of clusters that can be created. In SAP, a cluster is a logical grouping of database tables that are stored together for performance reasons.
  Data Model Design: Poor data model design or an excessive number of cluster tables can lead to this issue. If the application is designed to create many clusters without proper management, it can quickly hit the limit.
  Database Configuration: The database configuration may not be optimized for the volume of data being processed, leading to an excessive number of clusters being created.
