Issue with export/import from memory

[Former Member]

I have a customer who has lost a large amount of data from a bespoke table, and the only way this table id updated, is via a BADI. The user exit from the tansactions exports a table to memory using the user-name and number prefix. A BADI is somehow invokved (havent found out how yet), and this badi imports this data from memory using the user name and number prefix. Then it builds a table of data and delete or updates entries in the custom table.

However, a large amount of data was lost recently and I just wanted to know if it was possible for the memory to get distored so that whrn it imports that data it actually imports an empty table and this results in the table getting mas updated. A bit of a long shot but just wanted to be sure..

Just an idea. There's a limit to how much data a table can contain for the export to memory, so it could be that it got overflowed and thus acted badly. This limit is configured differently in each system, as far as I know.
