  The SAP error message /PM0/ABQ_MIG_MSG102 Append for structure &1 is too long typically occurs during data migration or when working with append structures in SAP. This error indicates that the length of the data being appended to a structure exceeds the maximum allowed length for that structure.

  Use Data Migration Tools: If you are using a data migration tool (like LSMW or SAP Data Services), ensure that the mapping and transformation rules are correctly set up to handle the data appropriately.
