Documentation

Definition

You use this flag to set whether the data is already aggregated (totalled) when it is read from the database or only aggregated once it is in the ABAP program.

By having the data aggregated at the database, you reduce the data volume to be sent to the application server. Aggregation at the database server is usually quicker than aggregation at the application server.

Reason for the flag

When using the aggregate functions, the database requires temporary memory space to build aggregated data. Depending on the database, the required memory space can make up much of the basic data. For this reason, the program might terminate with a short dump with a a database error as a result of the disks being overfull.

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

1. Where possible, always have the use of the aggregate functions activated.
2. If the program terminates due to disk space problems, increase the memory area for temporary data.
3. If it is no longer possible to increase the disk space, deactivate this function.
