• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WAB017 - Report &1 was terminated after &2 &3 (see list log) ?

  The SAP error message:
  WAB017 Report &1 was terminated after &2 &3 (see list log)
  
  Meaning / Cause
  
  This message indicates that a report program (ABAP report) identified by &1 was terminated unexpectedly after processing for a certain time or number of steps (represented by &2 and &3).
  The termination could be due to a runtime error, dump, or an explicit termination triggered by the system or the program logic.
  The message suggests checking the list log for more detailed information about the termination cause.
  Common causes include:
  
  ABAP runtime errors (e.g., division by zero, null pointer, memory issues)
  Authorization failures
  System resource limits exceeded (memory, time)
  Program logic errors or unhandled exceptions
  Background job termination or user cancellation
  
  
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve
  
  
  Check the List Log:
  
  The message advises to "see list log." This means you should look at the output or log generated by the report execution.
  In transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring), find the job that ran the report and check the job log.
  In the job log or spool, look for short dumps or error messages that explain why the report was terminated.
  
  
  
  Analyze Short Dumps:
  
  Use transaction ST22 to check for any ABAP short dumps related to the report.
  The dump will provide detailed information about the error, including the exact line of code, variables, and call stack.
  
  
  
  Review Program Code:
  
  If you have access to the report source code, review the logic around the point of termination.
  Look for unhandled exceptions or error-prone operations.
  Add error handling or debugging statements if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check System Resources:
  
  Ensure the system has sufficient memory and CPU resources.
  Check for any system-wide issues or limits that might cause premature termination.
  
  
  
  Authorization Checks:
  
  Verify that the user running the report has the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Report:
  
  After addressing the identified issues, re-run the report to confirm the problem is resolved.
