Summary :
The SAP Note addresses an error where insufficient disk space in the sort directory causes program terminations at the ABAP SORT command after an upgrade to Release >=4.5A. Previously, extracts were stored in SAP Paging, but now they require configuration under the DIR_EXTRACT parameter. The note suggests potential directory conflicts between DIR_EXTRACT and DIR_SORTTMP, which normally point to the DIR_DATA directory. To resolve the issues, it recommends relocating either the extract files or the sort files to a different directory with adequate space to avoid bottlenecks and ensure normal processes during sorting operations.
