  SAP Error Message:
  WS528 &1 to &2 too large; Field overflow exists for &3 &4
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  
  This error occurs during a data transfer or assignment operation in an ABAP program.
  It indicates that the source field (&1 to &2) is too large to fit into the target field (&3 &4).
  In other words, the length of the data being moved or assigned exceeds the length of the receiving field, causing a field overflow.
  This typically happens when:
  You try to move a string or numeric value into a field that is too short.
  You perform a MOVE or MOVE-CORRESPONDING statement where the source field length is greater than the target field length.
  You concatenate or manipulate strings without checking the length.
  You use function modules or BAPIs that expect certain field lengths but receive longer data.
