• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS268 - Non-productive DCL has no ABAP artifacts ?

  The SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS268 indicates that a non-productive Development Class (DCL) does not have any ABAP artifacts associated with it. This typically occurs in the context of SAP development environments where certain development classes are expected to contain ABAP objects (like programs, function modules, classes, etc.), but the specified DCL is empty.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Development Class: The DCL in question has been created but does not contain any ABAP objects.
  Incorrect Configuration: The DCL might have been incorrectly configured or not properly utilized in the development process.

  Check the Development Class: Verify that the DCL is indeed empty. You can do this by navigating to the DCL in the ABAP Workbench (SE80) and checking for any existing objects.
  Add ABAP Artifacts: If the DCL is meant to contain objects, you should create or move the necessary ABAP artifacts into the DCL.
