• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR635 - Enter offset and display length not exceeding & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR635 - Enter offset and display length not exceeding &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you enter values for offset and display length in a selection screen or report that exceed the allowed limits. Specifically, the sum of the offset and the display length is greater than the length of the field or data element you are trying to access or display.
  
  Offset: The starting position within the field.
  Display length: The number of characters to display starting from the offset.
  
  If the offset plus the display length exceeds the total length of the field, SAP throws this error to prevent invalid memory or data access.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the values you entered for offset and display length.
  
  Make sure that:
  
  offset + display length <= total length of the field
  
  
  Adjust the offset and/or display length accordingly.
  
  For example, if the field length is 10 characters:  
  
  Offset can be 0 to 9  
  Display length can be 1 to (10 - offset)
  
  
  
  If you are developing or debugging ABAP code, verify the logic that calculates or assigns these values to ensure they do not exceed the field length.
  
  
  Use system variables or metadata to dynamically determine the length of the field to avoid hardcoding values.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is common in reports or programs where users can specify a substring of a field to display or process.
  The message number VR635 belongs to the message class VR (Variable Range).
  The message text is:
  
  "Enter offset and display length not exceeding &"
  
  where & is replaced by the maximum allowed length.
  
  
  Example:
  If you have a field of length 20, and you enter:  
  
  Offset = 15  
  Display length = 10  
  
  Then:
  
  15 + 10 = 25 > 20 (field length) ? Error VR635 occurs.
  Correct input would be:  
  
  Offset = 10  
  Display length = 10
  
  or  
  Offset = 15  
  Display length = 5
