SAP Note 28681 - SQL error "INF-762: Stack overflow during parse."

Symptom:

An ABAP/4 program terminates with the SQL error
"SQL-Fehler -762 at ..."
"INF-762: stack overflow during statement parse."

Cause and prerequisites

The termination is caused by a database statement which contains a nesting depth of expressions in the selection condition ('where clause') which is too deep.
The maximum nesting depth of expressions in the selection condition with Informix is 55.

Solution

Modify the program logic of the affected database statement (while still retaining the semantics) so that this does not exceed the entered restriction.
An increase of the nesting depth in Informix is not planned.
