  The SAP error message SY315, which states "Open SQL storage exhausted: & = & + & > &", typically occurs when the internal storage limit for Open SQL statements in the SAP system has been exceeded. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  Causes:
  
  Excessive Data Volume: The query is trying to process a large volume of data, which exceeds the memory allocated for Open SQL operations.
  Complex Queries: The SQL statement may be too complex, involving too many joins or subqueries, leading to high memory consumption.

  Solutions:

  Check Indexes:
  
  Ensure that the database tables involved in the query are properly indexed to improve performance and reduce memory usage.
  
  
  
  Database Maintenance:
  
  Perform regular database maintenance tasks such as updating statistics, reorganizing tables, and cleaning up unused data.
