Programme SAP RPUOVRLP - Test Program for Finding Entries with Overlapping Periods

Purpose
With this report you can list entries in customizing tables that haveoverlapping periods. Since time-dependent tables are usually accessedby a SELECT .. EXIT .. ENDSELECT instruction, there can only be oneentry in a table for a particular key date.
Otherwise you cannot be sure which of the table entries is being read:
Depending on the database and its buffer, the program might read adifferent entry each time.
In particular programs involving the Euro conversion have difficultieswith time-overlaps in entries, since they generate two new entries fromone old one. In the case of overlapping entries, it can be that such anewly generated entry already exists with the same key. Since this isfirst noticed when the system tries to write to the database, andcannot be solved, the problem leads to short dumps.

Features

Output
The system outputs a list of all tables checked. If you remove the'detailed protocol' switch, the system only outputs the overlappingentries for each table.

Example
Table T511K,, Number of entries: 3.916
The table contains the following overlaps:
