Help Document

Diagnosis

The system uses a feature's decision tree to generate a report. Every possible syntax error was checked before generation, except for the fact that the report has more than 16,000 lines.

System Response

Procedure

Try to simplify the decision tree. Determine whether it is possible to shorten decision operations by taking just some parts of the decision field into account.

Example:

Rather than taking account of FELD1

A11 ...

B11 ...

C11 ...

D11 ...

E11 ...

***(etc.) ...

you could take account of the relevant part only:

FELD1+1

11 ...

**(etc.) ...

Another possible way of solving the problem is to store parts of the decision tree in an ABAP program, which is then accessed at the appropriate place within the decision tree (see the online documentation).
