  The SAP error message R1522 indicates that the maximum number of lines allowed in a particular screen or report has been exceeded. This typically occurs in scenarios where a user is trying to display or process a large amount of data, and the system has a predefined limit on how many lines can be shown or processed at once.
  Cause:
  
  Data Volume: The primary cause of this error is that the data being processed exceeds the maximum number of lines that the SAP screen or report can handle.

  Program Logic: The logic in the ABAP program may not be optimized to handle large datasets efficiently.
  
  Solution:
  
  Filter Data: Apply filters to reduce the amount of data being processed. This can be done by narrowing down the selection criteria to retrieve only the necessary records.
  Pagination: If applicable, implement pagination in the report or screen to break down the data into smaller, manageable chunks.
  Increase Limits: If you have the necessary authorizations and it is appropriate for your business process, you may consider increasing the maximum number of lines allowed. This typically requires changes in the configuration or ABAP code.
  Review Program Logic: If you have access to the ABAP code, review the logic to ensure it is optimized for handling larger datasets. This may involve using more efficient data retrieval methods or processing techniques.
  Consult Documentation: Check SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or report to see if there are any known limitations or recommended practices.
