  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRFAC_IMPL006 - Maximum line length exceeded: &1 > &2 ?

    The SAP error message SRFAC_IMPL006, which states "Maximum line length exceeded: &1 > &2," typically occurs when the length of a line in a data structure exceeds the predefined limit set by the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when processing data in IDocs, BAPIs, or other interfaces where data is being transferred or processed.

    Cause:

    1. Data Length Exceeded: The primary cause of this error is that the length of a string or line of data being processed exceeds the maximum allowed length defined in the system. This can happen if:
      • The data being sent or received is larger than the expected size.
      • There are incorrect mappings or configurations in the data transfer process.
      • The data structure definitions in the ABAP program or interface are not aligned with the actual data being processed.

    Solution:

    1. Check Data Length: Review the data being processed to ensure that it does not exceed the maximum length defined in the relevant data structure. You can do this by:

      • Inspecting the data being sent to the interface or function module.
      • Validating the length of each field against the definitions in the data structure.
    2. Adjust Data Structure: If the data being processed legitimately exceeds the maximum length, consider adjusting the data structure definitions in the ABAP program or interface to accommodate the larger data. This may involve:

      • Modifying the length of the fields in the data structure.
      • Ensuring that the receiving system or interface can handle the increased length.
    3. Data Truncation: If it is not feasible to change the data structure, you may need to truncate or split the data before sending it to ensure it fits within the allowed limits.

    4. Review Configuration: If the error occurs in a specific transaction or process, review the configuration settings related to that process to ensure they are set up correctly.

    5. Consult Documentation: Check SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or function module to see if there are any known issues or recommendations regarding maximum line lengths.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on handling data length issues.
    • Data Dictionary: Review the Data Dictionary (SE11) to understand the definitions of the data structures involved in the process.
    • Debugging: If necessary, use the ABAP debugger to trace the execution of the program and identify where the error is occurring.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the SRFAC_IMPL006 error and implement a suitable solution.
