How To Fix COM_PME_PARSER135 - Dependency cannot be compiled: reason #&1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: COM_PME_PARSER - Configuration

• Message number: 135

• Message text: Dependency cannot be compiled: reason #&1

What causes this issue?

The system found an error (#) when generating intermediate code for the
dependency.
#1 - Compilation too long
Probable cause: The dependency is transformed internally to
"disjunctive normal form" as shown in the following example:
(a OR b) AND (c OR d) becomes
(a AND c) OR (a AND d) OR (b AND c) OR (b AND d)
In dependencies where many parenthical expressions are linked with an
AND operation, and these parenthetical expressions have sub-expressions
that are linked with an OR operation, the disjunctive normal form of
object dependencies can be very long. This is why a maximum length has
been defined. The current dependency exceeds this length.

System Response

The system marks the dependency as incorrect. This means that it cannot
be released for operative use.

How to fix this error?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

#1 - Compilation too long:
Try to avoid OR in inner parenthetical expressions. For example:
COLOR = 'red' OR COLOR = 'blue'
instead of
COLOR IN ['red', 'blue']

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER135 - Dependency cannot be compiled: reason #&1 ?

  The SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER135 indicates that there is a dependency in your ABAP program or object that cannot be compiled. The reason specified by #&1 will provide more context about the specific issue. Here’s a general approach to understanding the cause, potential solutions, and related information for this error:
  Cause
  
  Missing Dependencies: The most common cause is that the program or object you are trying to compile has dependencies on other objects (like classes, function modules, or data elements) that are either missing or not activated.
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the code that prevent successful compilation.
  Inconsistent Object State: The object might be in an inconsistent state due to previous changes or failed transports.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from another system, there might be missing components or dependencies that were not included in the transport.
  
  Solution
  
  Check Dependencies: Use transaction SE80 or SE11 to check the dependencies of the object. Ensure that all required objects are available and activated.
  Activate Objects: If there are any inactive objects that your program depends on, activate them. You can do this in the Object Navigator (SE80) or directly in the relevant transaction (e.g., SE24 for classes).
  Review Syntax: Check the code for any syntax errors. You can do this by using the syntax check feature in the ABAP editor (SE38 or SE80).
  Transport Management: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they have been successfully imported into the target system.
  Check for Locks: Sometimes, objects can be locked by other users or processes. Check if the object is locked and resolve any locks if necessary.
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider debugging the program to identify the exact point of failure.
  
  Related Information
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE80 (Object Navigator), SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE24 (Class Builder), and SE38 (ABAP Editor).
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to the error message or the specific object you are working with. SAP Notes often provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific objects or components involved to ensure you understand their dependencies and requirements.
