Memory space issue

Former Member — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 16:43:35 GMT

Hi,

I am facing problem in a utility program and it is runing into short dump saying: 'Unable to fulfill request for 8192 bytes of memory space'. Can anyone tell me about this.

Whats might be problamatic here? This utility program captures changes in material fields and prepare XML out of it. This was run for around 20K parts and it got dump at particular point. From the code it seems all fine.

Also from the dump analysis (ST22) i picked up the record for which it was showing dump and executed the program for same single record and all ends in fine results. so there was no issue with data.

Plse provide possible inputs for solution.

Thanks,

Ags.

Sounds like it is running out of memory to use, you should try freein up some space, for example, if you have an internal table which has data, but is not longer going to be used for the rest of the program, then use the FREE statement to free up the memory.

Is this a standard SAP program or a custom one?

This code is standard SAP code but copied into Z to customize it.

dump normally occurs if data is unable to get hold in internal tables. Mostly it is getting memory overfloe due to which data is not getting stored in the internal table...Try processing for lesser materials or in 2-3 steps where each step can hold some 8k of records.

What was the original report? I'm wondering if there are SAP notes to help you on this.
