Is there a limitation of the number of nodes created with RS_TREE...-FMs ?

Dear fellow developers,

some of our reports use the RS_TREE - function modules.

Recently one of those reports suffered a short dump in

background processing with error SYSTEM_IMODE_TOO_LARGE

(See SAP-Note 548845 = an internal modes size limit of

2 GB had been exceeded, probably resulting from too big

programs, internal tables, too many objects instantiated

etc.).

Since the RS_TREE-FMs are obviously creating objects

for each node internally and the active process during

the short dump was RS_TREE_SORT_CHILDREN I would be

interested in any feedback to the question if there is

some kind of limitation to the number of nodes I can

handle with those FMs. And if so, can I avoid the problem?

Thanks in advance for your appreciated input

hi,

In Include LSEUTTOP

there is a statement that indicates that there is a max number of items:

data:

• main node table

tree like snode occurs 5000

with header line,

• compare table for modification log

itree like snode occurs 100

with header line,

• expanded nodes

expand type seutexpand occurs 100

with header line,

ctl_expand type seutexpand occurs 0,..

the tree table is restricted, the nodes too.

So, simply avoid using rs_tree. Build your tree with objects and use the containers.

Look up the custom control information:

and don't limit the size of the tables.
