  SAP Error Message: WXPB221
  Text: Amount of memory space used is too large; buffer will be initialized
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs in the context of SAPscript or Smart Forms processing, particularly when dealing with buffers that hold data for printing or displaying forms.
  
  The message indicates that the amount of memory used by the buffer (which temporarily stores data for processing) has exceeded a certain threshold.
  To prevent memory overflow or performance degradation, the system decides to initialize (clear) the buffer.
  This usually happens when a large amount of data is being processed or when the form contains very large text elements or graphics.
  It can also occur if the form or print program is not optimized and accumulates too much data in memory before output.
