TPDA263 - Details

• The SAP error message TPDA263, which indicates that the ABAP stack was truncated because the maximum stack depth has been reached, typically occurs when there is a recursive function call or an excessive number of nested function calls in your ABAP program. This can lead to a situation where the call stack exceeds the predefined limit, resulting in the truncation of the stack and the error message.
  Causes:
  
  Recursive Function Calls: A function or method is calling itself directly or indirectly without a proper exit condition, leading to infinite recursion.
  Deeply Nested Calls: A series of function calls that are too deeply nested can also lead to this error.
  Excessive Data Processing: Processing large amounts of data in a single transaction without breaking it down can lead to deep call stacks.
  Inefficient Code: Poorly optimized code that leads to unnecessary function calls can contribute to reaching the maximum stack depth.
