• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BSANLY_CONT_ACT_MSG080 - Only programs within name space 'Z*' can be created ?

  The SAP error message BSANLY_CONT_ACT_MSG080 indicates that you are trying to create or modify a program in a namespace that is not allowed. In SAP, custom developments are typically done in the 'Z' or 'Y' namespaces, which are reserved for customer-specific objects. The error message suggests that you are attempting to create a program in a standard namespace or a namespace that is not permitted for custom developments.
  Cause:
  
  Namespace Restriction: The system restricts the creation of custom programs to specific namespaces (usually 'Z' or 'Y'). If you attempt to create a program in a standard namespace (like 'SAP*'), you will encounter this error.
  Transport Layer Settings: The transport layer settings may also restrict the creation of objects in certain namespaces.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use the Correct Namespace: Ensure that you are creating your program in the correct namespace. Use 'Z' or 'Y' for custom developments. For example, if you want to create a program, start the name with 'Z' or 'Y' (e.g., Z_MY_PROGRAM).
  
  
  Check Development Class: If you are working within a development class, make sure that the development class is set up to allow custom objects. You can check the attributes of the development class in transaction SE80 or SE11.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create objects in the specified namespace. You may need to contact your SAP Basis or security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  
  
  Review Transport Layer: If you are working in a transport layer that has restrictions, you may need to adjust the transport layer settings or work in a different transport layer that allows custom developments.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Namespaces in SAP: Understanding namespaces is crucial for SAP development. The 'Z' and 'Y' namespaces are reserved for customer-specific developments, while standard SAP objects reside in other namespaces.
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to manage and create your programs and check the development class settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions related to this error message.
