  The SAP error message CNVC_SCWB_ZMESSAGE101 indicates that the Package ID you are trying to use exceeds the maximum allowed length of 5 characters. This error typically occurs in the context of transport requests or when working with packages in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  The Package ID you are attempting to use is longer than the maximum allowed length of 5 characters. In SAP, package IDs are used to categorize and manage development objects, and they have strict naming conventions and length restrictions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Package ID: Review the Package ID you are trying to use and ensure it is no longer than 5 characters. If it is longer, you will need to shorten it.
  
  
  Rename the Package: If you have control over the package, consider renaming it to a valid ID that adheres to the 5-character limit. You can do this in the SAP GUI:
  
  Go to transaction SE80 (Object Navigator).
  Select the package you want to rename.
  Use the "Rename" option to change the package ID to a valid one.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Package: If you are not able to rename the package, consider using a different package that already exists and meets the character limit requirement.
  
  
  Check for Hardcoded Values: If the Package ID is being set programmatically or through configuration, check the relevant code or configuration settings to ensure that the value being assigned does not exceed the character limit.
