Knowledge Management

Question:
Hi,
I'm working in a SAP BIW project and I have to read a very big SAP table (3.000.000 - 5.000.000 entries). I have to store the values of this table in an ABAP program. I would like to know what's the maximum number of entries allowed in an internal table?
Thanks for your help,
Joan

This depends on the memory that is available for a WP - usually ca 800 MB - ask your basis People how the sytem is configuerd.
Dealing with such large number of entries you should consider to read packagewise to keep the memory low.
