Hi,

The short dump error report is seen in tocode ST22.

It contains the following details :

1 What happened?

2 What can you do?

3 Error analysis

4 How to correct the error

5 System environment

6 User, transaction...

7 Information on where termination occurred

8 Contents of system fields

9 Chosen variables

10 Active calls / events

11 Internal notes

12 Active calls in SAP kernel

13 List of ABAP programs affected

14 List of internal tables

15 Directory of application tables (contents)

16 Directory of data areas (administration information)

17 Directory of data areas (contents)

18 ABAP control blocks CONT

19 End of runtime analysis

The major advantages of this report is to understand the reason for the abnormal termination of the program.

Section 7 details about the exact line of code which led to the termination.

Section 1 gives a brief explanation of the reason for termination.

Section 3 & 4 gives the error analys and possible solution to it

Rest other data is for your information.

Dump analysis is majorly used in both the development system and production system on daily basis.

Ranjani.

hi please look through this:

Whenever any transaction or any process is executed it hits an ABAP code.

If there is any issue in executing the code the situation is called "ABAP DUMP" or 'Short Dump'

Transaction ST22 is used to check any ABAP Dump within a given duration.

U can also fix the issue with the help of ABAP editor (Transaction Code SE38) if u r good with ABAP.

you can select back to the last 14 days if you are

running the SAP_REORG_ABAPDUMPS job (program RSSNAPDL) which deletes te

old ABAP dumps every day, possibly further if you run it weekly or

monthly.

Good explanation Joy, but it is not only limited to the current day and

yesterday. If you click on the Selection button you can select previous

days as well. In fact you can select back to the last 14 days if you are

running the SAP_REORG_ABAPDUMPS job (program RSSNAPDL) which deletes te

old ABAP dumps every day, possibly further if you run it weekly or

monthly.

Cheers

Dear sreenivas

If you receive an error message in the R/3 System log (SM21), or if you

see

a terminated update in the update service analysis transaction (SM13), or

DB

realated error ,check for dumps using the dump analysis transaction

(transaction ST22), or choose Tools -> Administration -> Monitoring ->

Dump

analysis.

Transaction ST22 enables you to analyze short dumps from the current and

previous day.

The dump analysis function shows you:

• What happened

• What you can do

• How to correct the error

The dump analysis function also provides an error ID and keywords that you

can use to search in SAPNet, as well as information about:

• The system environment

• Users and transactions

• Transaction ST22 enables you to analyze the following data:

• Date, time, user, client

• Contents of system and data fields

• Contents of internal tables and application tables

ST22 is a very nice feature in SAP. This is where all the system errors

and users mistakes showed up. If there is a problem that you cannot

solve and you contact SAP support, they look at this area to analyze it.

This gives us lead where to handle the problems.

Error analysis

• How to correct the error

• System environment

• User, transaction...

• Information on where termination occurred

• Contents of system fields

• Chosen variables

• Active calls / events

• Internal notes

• Active calls in SAP kernel

• List of ABAP programs affected

• List of internal tables

• Directory of application tables (contents)

• Directory of data areas (administration information)

• Directory of data areas (contents)

• ABAP control blocks CONT

• End of runtime analysis

i think this would be helpful
