Ever received that dreaded message "Time limit exceeded"? 

When you need to run a report that will go over the Basis timeout setting this is what you need to do.... 

1. Execute your report
2. Use SM51 to find the server where your report is running (SM50)
3. Wait until your report is getting to the timeout limit
4. When it gets to around a minute from timing out do the following:
5. Select the process
6. From the menu select Program/Mode -> Program -> Debugging
7. This will fire up the report in debug mode (may take a while but wait until it comes up)
   
8. Click continue or press F8 to continue the running of the report in anunassisted mode
9. You will now see that the time has been reset to 0
10. Repeat until your program completes
