How To Fix 28135 - Dependency cannot be compiled: reason #&1

28135 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 28 - Configuration

• Message number: 135

• Message text: Dependency cannot be compiled: reason #&1

What causes this issue?

The system found an error (#&V1&) when generating intermediate code for
the dependency.
#1 - Compilation too long
Probable cause: The dependency is transformed internally to
"disjunctive normal form" as shown in the following example:
(a OR b) AND (c OR d) becomes
(a AND c) OR (a AND d) OR (b AND c) OR (b AND d)
In dependencies where many parenthical expressions are linked with an
AND operation, and these parenthetical expressions have sub-expressions
that are linked with an OR operation, the disjunctive normal form of
object dependencies can be very long. This is why a maximum length has
been defined. The current dependency exceeds this length.

System Response

The system marks the dependency as incorrect. This means that it cannot
be released for operative use.

How to fix this error?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

#1 - Compilation too long:
Try to avoid OR in inner parenthetical expressions. For example:
COLOR = 'red' OR COLOR = 'blue'
instead of
COLOR IN ['red', 'blue']

This error can occur in various contexts, such as when working with ABAP programs, function modules, or other development objects.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Dependencies: The object you are trying to compile may depend on other objects (like classes, function modules, or data elements) that are either missing or not activated.
  Inconsistent State: The object might be in an inconsistent state due to changes made to its dependencies that have not been activated or compiled.
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the code that prevent successful compilation.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from another system, there may be missing dependencies that were not included in the transport request.
