TD411
- Character string "&" is too long ?The SAP error message TD411, which states "Character string '&' is too long," typically occurs when a string exceeds the maximum length allowed for a particular field or parameter in SAP. This can happen in various contexts, such as when entering data in a transaction, creating a report, or working with custom programs.
Cause: Field Length Exceeded: The most common cause is that the input string exceeds the defined length for a specific field in the database or program. For example, if a field is defined to accept a maximum of 10 characters, and you try to input 15 characters, this error will occur. Data Type Mismatch: Sometimes, the error can arise from a mismatch between the expected data type and the actual data being processed. Custom Code: If you are using custom ABAP code, there may be a logic error where a string is being concatenated or manipulated incorrectly, leading to an overflow.
