Error when running a report writer

Former Member — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 10:44:23 GMT

Hi,

I am getting an error ("Internal error: More than 999 GREP blocks were requested") when running a report writer.

The error diagnosis is:

**********************************************************************

Internal error: More than 999 GREP blocks were requested

Message no. GR 215

Diagnosis

An internal error occurred in the Report Writer.

When running the program, you selected the option to store your results

permanently. However, when the selected data was stored in blocks in

the GREP file, the maximum number of blocks was exceeded.

System Response

The selection program was terminated.

Procedure

Inform your system administrator.

You may have to increase the block size for the GREP blocks.

**********************************************************************

Anybody knows how to increase the size of GREP blocks?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Arun Mohan

Hello,

The reason for the error GR215 is that too many data blocks are being

processed.

The explanation is one of the following:

- You have variation activated in the report

- A large group of objects is being processed and the report output

fails due to the large data size

- the selected data is reaching the technical restriction

Check the SAP note 64537. This note advises you to set the BLOCK SIZE parameter

in the coding to 500000. However, the maximum value possible is 999999. You may -

if you already implemented the coding change of SAP note 64537 - raise the parameter

once more to 999999.

If the error then still remains the selected/processed data is definitely too much.

Then check the report definition in comparison to SAP notes 317574 and 387414.

Regards,

David
