• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC112 - Literal space exhausted ?

  The SAP error message ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC112: Literal space exhausted typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming when the literal space allocated for string literals in the program is exceeded. This can happen when there are too many or too large string literals defined in your ABAP code.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive String Literals: The program contains too many string literals or very large literals that exceed the predefined limit for literal space.
  Large Data Structures: If you are using large data structures or concatenating many strings, it can lead to this error.
  Code Complexity: Complex code with many inline declarations or concatenations can also contribute to exhausting the literal space.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce String Literals: Review your code and try to minimize the number of string literals. Combine smaller literals into larger ones where possible.
  Use Variables: Instead of using literals directly in your code, consider using variables to hold string values. This can help reduce the number of literals in the program.
  Refactor Code: Break down complex code into smaller methods or functions. This can help manage the number of literals and improve readability.
  Check for Unused Literals: Remove any string literals that are not being used in the program.
  Increase Literal Space: If necessary, you can increase the literal space in the program by adjusting the settings in the ABAP environment, but this is generally not recommended as a first step.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP ABAP documentation for guidelines on managing literals and string handling.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message.
  Performance Considerations: Be aware that excessive use of literals can also impact performance, so optimizing your code can have additional benefits beyond resolving this error.
