• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TD720 - No more than & lines can be saved ?

  The SAP error message TD720 "No more than & lines can be saved" typically occurs when you are trying to save a text object (like a long text or a text element) that exceeds the maximum number of lines allowed by the system. This limit is often set to prevent performance issues and to ensure that text objects remain manageable.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Line Limit: The primary cause of this error is that the text you are trying to save has more lines than the system allows. Each text object has a predefined limit on the number of lines it can contain.
  Configuration Settings: The line limit can be influenced by system settings or configurations that define how many lines are permissible for specific text types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce the Number of Lines: Review the text you are trying to save and reduce the number of lines. This may involve condensing the information or splitting it into multiple text objects if necessary.
  Check Configuration: If you believe the limit is too restrictive for your needs, you may need to consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator to check if the configuration can be adjusted. They can look into the relevant settings in the system that define the maximum number of lines for text objects.
  Use Short Texts: If applicable, consider using short texts or summaries instead of long texts to convey the necessary information without exceeding the line limit.
