  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 0S088 - Cannot display source code - no program name in trace record ?

    The SAP error message 0S088: Cannot display source code - no program name in trace record typically occurs when you are trying to analyze a performance trace or debugging session in SAP, but the system cannot find the associated program or transaction code for the trace record. This can happen for several reasons:

    Causes:

    1. Missing Program Name: The trace record does not contain a program name, which is necessary for the system to locate the source code.

    3. Program Deletion or Inaccessibility: The program that was executed may have been deleted or is not accessible in the current environment.
