  The SAP error message ACM180, which states "Delete ABAP artifacts of DCL: &1," typically occurs in the context of Data Control Language (DCL) in SAP systems. This error indicates that there are ABAP artifacts (like programs, function modules, or classes) that are associated with a DCL object that needs to be deleted or cleaned up.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Dependency Issues: The DCL object has dependencies on ABAP artifacts that are no longer valid or have been deleted.
  Inconsistent State: The DCL object is in an inconsistent state due to previous operations that did not complete successfully.
  Manual Deletion: If an ABAP artifact was manually deleted without properly removing its references in the DCL, this error can occur.

  Check DCL Object: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the DCL object and ensure that it is correctly defined and does not have any inconsistencies.
