• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSSELECTIO804 - Line length is exceeded: Select at most &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSSELECTIO804 indicates that the line length for a selection in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module has been exceeded. This typically occurs when a user tries to select too many items or when the selection criteria are too broad, resulting in a data set that exceeds the system's limits for processing.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Selection Criteria: The user may have selected too many characteristics or values in the selection screen, leading to a situation where the total length of the selection exceeds the allowed limit.
  Data Volume: The volume of data being processed in a single query may be too large, causing the system to exceed its internal limits.
  Configuration Limits: There may be specific configuration settings in the APO system that limit the number of items or the length of the selection criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria and try to limit the number of selected items or characteristics. For example, if you are selecting multiple materials, consider narrowing it down to a smaller subset.
  Use Filters: Apply filters to reduce the data set size. This can include date ranges, specific product categories, or other relevant parameters that can help narrow down the selection.
  Batch Processing: If you need to process a large amount of data, consider breaking it down into smaller batches. This can help avoid exceeding the line length limit.
  Check Configuration: Consult with your SAP Basis or APO administrator to check if there are any configuration settings that can be adjusted to allow for larger selections, though this may not always be advisable due to performance considerations.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to this error message for any specific recommendations or updates that may address the issue.
