calculation length - Details


  • Key Concepts: Calculation length is a parameter in the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) that determines the maximum number of characters that can be used in a calculation. It is used to limit the amount of memory used by a calculation and to prevent calculations from becoming too complex.
    How to use it: The calculation length parameter can be set in the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) by selecting the “Calculation Length” option from the “Settings” menu. The value can be set to any number between 0 and 255 characters. It is important to note that setting the calculation length too low may cause calculations to fail, while setting it too high may cause performance issues.
    Tips & Tricks: When setting the calculation length, it is important to consider the complexity of the calculations that will be performed. If the calculations are relatively simple, then a lower value can be used. However, if more complex calculations are being performed, then a higher value should be used. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that setting the calculation length too high may cause performance issues.
