MEMORY LOW

Former Member — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:03:17 GMT

I already use this function :

CALL FUNCTION 'PROGRESS_INDICATOR'

EXPORTING

i_text = 'Transferring data........ '.

This causes the system not to timeout after 1200secs.

But after about 40 minutes it gives another error: "Memory low. Leave the transaction before taking a break!"

When I check in debug, the internal table i'm filling contains +- 1.5 million records of type char length 1500.

Any ideas how to avoid having this error?

hi,

Take an assistance from your basis consultant in increasing the memory ...

Internal table can hold upto 2 GB of data ..

It can be increased to 4 GB , but not recommended ...

Actually it still gives the error: TIME_OUT.(time limit exceeded)

My mistake sorry.

But it gives a notification on bottom of the screen saying "Memory Low..." and I don't think the data is anyway near 2GB.. its just plain text so..

Please every little help is welcome..

You can be surprised at how big that internal table can get when you have a lot of data.

Maybe you just have to much data, and need to split it up in smalled blocks?

I've just transferred about 500,000 records to a plain text file.

The size was 137MB so it doesn't come near 2GB..

Then i have no idea what the problem could possibly be.
