You are speaking about 2 different notions, no : you can free memory but remaining in time out!

You need to free memory if you have not enough memory to store data collected (which can be the case when processing over millions of data...), but it will not be the cause of your time out which means that you have exceeded the maximum duration set in your system for process your data!

For your problem of timeout, you can try to launch your program in background job (if possible) and see the result via transaction SM37.

For the problem of memory, you should treat your data by package.

Hello Prem,

before asking for a function module to free memory you have to provide the community with more information. What kind of transaction/report is giving you problems and why do you think it is related to the memory consumption.

I usually do it in the following way if it comes to performance:

1. Take a trace with ST12/SE30 transaction (with internal tables)

2. Determine what exactly is causing the problem by sorting the trace by Gross/Net time and see what can be done for it.

Before this initial analysis you cannot be sure that the problem is caused by some memory issues.

Wow, sorry, Rob I just saw a recent reply. Somehow I was not active in this forum before, but probably this will change

It's OK Yuri. Sometimes when old posts get responses, other responders don't look at the date and start answering again. I'm just trying to keep that from happening.
